“Best art event experience EVER - just WOW! We will be regulars.” Bill and Marcia D., Barrington Hills

We believe that connecting humans in real time community is a really good idea. And one step further, we believe in doing it in an innovative art event experience in a beautiful historic mansion that defines a perfect night out for date night, girls night, family night or just on your own.
