River East Arts Center is a great space in Chicago. It is one of the best event spaces in the city, plus REAC hosts Dose Market once a month, which pulls together a great group of artisans and local purveyors. This old historic warehouse is now comprised of art galleries and restaurants and it's worth a stop while in near Navy Pier! I've attended and hosted quite a few corporate events here and the venue is the perfect backdrop for a great party! I love the exposed brick and wooden beams, the awesome skyline and river views and their outside area.

River East Art Center gets the Colin Lyon's Photography stamp of approval! As a wedding photographer, I have had the opportunity to experience most every wedding venue in the city of Chicago. River East Arts Center is visually stunning, and one of my favorite places to shoot at. It is a beautiful open space with a breathtaking view of the river. You can't beat the location, steps from Navy Pier, where all of downtown stretches before you.

This is a great venue for events but only if you have tons of money! A nice semicircular entrance and hallway lead to different room sections and stairs to downstairs center of the building. Rustic modern with nice lighting. Also, has a outdoor walkway next to river. Glass windows bring in sunlight.
I've attended several events including fundraiser and the service is excellent and polished.

If I could give them a negative star, I would!! Very unprofessional!! All wedding contracts are cancelled at the REAC and they no longer hosting weddings anymore. The management (Matt O Kane and Kandace Polz of the Fox Group) could not have handled this any more unprofessionally than they did. I do believe this space has never been successful and to Matt O'kane and Kandace Polz of the Fox Group (who is putting in residential condos)

Over the decades, River East Arts Center has gone through many incarnations: a nightlife hub as "North Pier," loft condominium development, and art gallery and special event center (if you can call it that). Unfortunately, not one strategy has succeeded in the now virtually abandoned two-city block space. Maybe if the fox group wasnt such shady businessmen you would be able to have much success in this space... Karma will catch up to you soon enough.
