Chicago Architecture Center Information

When you hit the pavement on one of our 75+ walking tours through Chicago neighborhoods, set sail on our award-winning river cruise, gift a membership to friends and family, or visit the stunning riverfront Center, you’re helping fund CAC youth education initiatives like Girls Build!, Teen Fellows, and the Newhouse Architecture + Design Competition. Or you may be helping to keep programs like Open House Chicago free for participants for years to come. As a certified nonprofit, all CAC ticket purchases directly support our education efforts and community engagement projects. • 1 walking tour ticket = transportation and lunch for a CAC summer program student. • 2 river cruise tickets = sketching materials and drafting tools for a student. • Sold out walking tour = tuition for a Teen Fellow to take a digital lab course at a local community college.
