Reopening Our Doors
We are excited to welcome you to the reopening of the Stony Island Arts Bank on June 5th.
Acquired by Theaster Gates in 2012, Stony Island Arts Bank was founded as a hybrid exhibition space and community center as a space for innovation in contemporary art and archival practice.
A two-pronged concept where art and hospitality coalesce, Han Cha and Yunomi mark the evolution of Stony Island Arts Bank.
Han Cha fuses East Asian teahouse craftsmanship and culture with the format and cuisine of English high tea, inviting guests to partake in a two-hour prix fixe menu, while yunomi is the new bar and lounge centered on the yunomi, or handleless daily cup, in Japanese ceramics vernacular.
Visitors are welcome to visit the Stony Island Arts Bank by acquiring tickets online or on a walk-in basis, with a recommended ticket price of $10, half of which goes to Rebuild Foundation, the community-based non-profit founded by Theaster Gates in 2010. Additionally, reservations for the tea room can be made via OpenTable via the link below.
