Open House Chicago
About The Event
Every October, the Chicago Architecture Center (CAC) is proud to host Open House Chicago (OHC)—a free public festival that instills civic pride through providing access to places of architectural, historical and cultural significance, and highlights businesses, organizations and creative leaders making positive impact in Chicago’s diverse neighborhoods.
OHC remains one of the largest events of its kind in the world. This festival is a part of Open House Worldwide, a network of almost 60 organizations hosting festivals and conversations about architecture, design and cities across the globe.
Be sure to visit Anti-Cruelty's downtown Chicago adoption center from October 18-19, 2025 to learn about the legacy of Stanley Tigerman's architecture and how his distinguished work ties together with our legacy.
