The Block specializes in the presentation of exhibitions and public programs that resonate with contemporary life, and with issues and conversations relevant to young adult and adult visitors.  The Block's tours and educational offerings are best tailored to high school, college, and adult audiences from across the Chicago region. We are fortunate to be connected to civic museums and arts organizations in Chicago and Evanston best positioned to serving needs of K-8 education and would be happy to make referrals to museum and arts resources for younger groups.
