THIRD SPACE is a community space in the heart of Chicagos Lakeview neighborhood where people can gather, learn, and form meaningful relationships. Our mission for Third Space is to leverage our strong relationships with underserved community segments and focus on increasing important services to support their needs and enhance the quality of life. Currently our focus is on our programs dedicated to community Seniors to counter isolationism and help provide personal connections to aid in addressing mental health issues that are common as we age, especially for those who live alone. A secondary goal to help meet a local need for affordable and accessible rehearsal and performance space within the local arts community by nurturing our partnerships with small community theater, comedy, and music groups.
