Chicago Renaissance Showcase
Welcome to the Chicago Renaissance Showcase, a groundbreaking celebration of Chicago's vibrant cultural heritage and creative future.
Through a dynamic fusion of fashion, house music, and visual arts, we're creating more than just an event—we're building a living testament to Chicago's cultural mosaic. Hosted in an 18,000 sq. ft. warehouse, the showcase features a high-energy fashion runway show tracing the evolution of dance music style from the ‘70s to today, thought-provoking discussion panels, a curated art auction, live art activation, and an electrifying afterparty with a lineup curated by ARC Music Festival.
Presented through a powerful collaboration between the Museum of House and Chicago Fashion Coalition with support from ARC Music Festival, Uber, Garrett Popcorn, EXPO Chicago, Chicago History Museum, Frankie Knuckles Foundation, Woodford Reserve, Teremana, Choose Chicago, Chicago Bulls, Marc Nolan, David Morton & Episcope Hospitality, Funkytown Brewery, and other cultural partners, this event represents a watershed moment in Chicago's cultural renaissance.
