Marwen is located at 833 North Orleans Street in the River North neighborhood of Chicago.
Designed in 2000 by Wheeler Kearns Architects, one of Chicago’s most celebrated architecture firms, Marwen was awarded the Excellence in Architecture Award by the American Institute of Architects, Chicago chapter. Our building houses six specialized studios—including a fully-loaded technology lab, darkroom, and ceramics studio with kiln—to support our broad spectrum of courses. The art library is an excellent source for research and inspiration, while a college and career center offers the tools and resources necessary for future planning. Finally, our spacious student and alumni exhibition galleries display the work of our young artists year-round.
