Slept On: Noyes Arts Center



Evanston is not like other suburbs. It seems to have some cool artists. Actually, It has a lot of artists. There are many studios in Evanston just under the radar. They seem to get over looked in the shadow cast by Chicago. After the hustle and bustle of the Red line becomes the calmer Purple line train, you see a transition in the art scene. It's compressed and quiet. That doesn't mean it's stagnant though. A hub for arts seems to be the Noyes Center. It is also home to Art Encounter; a nonprofit visual arts organization which invites you to explore art hands on. They also house the very finest in theater and circus. I'm serious; they have an acrobats/ acting guild that mirrors Circe De Soilel, but not in French. Even the basket ball court outside is on the next level. It's triangular! Go see this place for yourself. You'll want to join something there.
