Illinois State Museum Lockport Gallery

About

The Lockport Gallery celebrates Illinois through changing exhibits featuring paintings, drawings, sculptures, quilts, and other media created by the state's artists and artisans. These rotating, theme-based exhibits are supplemented and showcased through educational events, group tours, and outreach programs for all ages.

An Illinois State Museum (ISM) facility, the Lockport Gallery is located in a structure that is itself a work of art and history. The historic Norton Building was constructed on the banks of the Illinois and Michigan Canal in 1850 to serve as a grain-processing facility. Today, the building is a multi-use facility housing residential lofts, offices, commercial space, and the Lockport Gallery.

The gallery's space gracefully incorporates the building's original features, including high ceilings, hardwood floors, and large windows - once arched portals used for loading and unloading.
