HotHouse - The Center for International Performance and Exhibition is a cultural gem in Chicago. This non-profit performing arts center hosts musical acts from around the world. A typical HotHouse schedule allows you to dance to Brazilian samba, take in the sound of Spanish guitars, or check out Zimbabwean chimurenga, all within the same month. HotHouse celebrates the diversity of music from blues to dance, folk, hip hop, jazz, and soul. Some performances may even be preceded by free dance lessons. HotHouse has a great atmosphere and is the place to go to for the most provocative and eclectic music showcased in an inspiring, art-filled environment.
To get to HotHouse in the South Loop neighborhood, take the red line train to Harrison, walk south along State Street for one block, turn left onto Balbo Avenue, and walk for another block.
