Lumin8 Productions

My studio is located in the artistically popular Wicker Park area of Chicago. About a half block from the Blue Line “Division” stop, it’s easily accessible from anywhere in the city, as well as O’hare airport. We are on a third floor, just two set of stairs and your in. Stairs and doors are wide enough to move things into the space comfortably. We have several amazing restaurants, and a Jewels, Dunkin Donuts, and Lowe’s directly behind my building.
