River East Art Center is a prestigious event venue located steps from Navy Pier, The Magnificent Mile and downtown Chicago. REAC consists of more than ten thousand square feet of event space surrounded by a rotating collection of fine art and various artisan businesses. The lofted natural wood space with exposed brick and pristine terrazzo floors exude sophistication and charm. A 60 foot wide Venetian water wall is serenely uplit and provides a beautiful backdrop for events. Seamless glass walls on the Mezzanine offer a spectacular view.
