LACUNA LOFTS IS…. LACUNA LOFTS is the Premier, upscale, trendy loft work-space, and is the newest addition to the growing artist community located in the Pilsen Art District. Jos-Cacciatore & Co. transformed LACUNA from raw open-space, into a jaw-dropping vision, which is unlike any other. LACUNA, conveniently located at 2150 S. Canalport, is situated in what was once the world’s largest macaroni factory. Housed within the 250,000+ sqft warehouse facility, LACUNA Tenants occupy the 2nd thru the 5th floor, with additional event space on the 1st floor and throughout the building. In addition, by being centrally located, LACUNA renders itself to the entire Loop Area with close highway access. It is also coined as the premiere event space in Chicago by offering various rental accommodations for weddings, socials, meetings, networking, celebrity focused events and more!
Show us your Colors! Come dine with us for Authentic Mexican Cusine!! *NEW* Full Bar is now in Commission! (Sorry but BYOB will no longer be allowed) Serving lunch and dinner. From the Kitchens of DeColores Mexican Restaurant: It is no coincidence that great food is a passion of ours. Our family has a secret recipe book spanning generations, a book full of secrets that we are finally ready to share with our friends and neighbors. The recipes we have been enjoyed since we were children are now showcased with pride. Por Ejemplo, if you’re tasting our Mole Poblano, a savory chocolate based sauce made with 20 different ingredients, you’re literally tasting my Grandmother's closely guarded recipe. The rich cucumber salsa enjoyed with your Pozole, or freshly made tortilla chips, is my mother’s recipe and a local favorite. Our Coctel de Camaron (shrimp cocktail) is a special one, reluctantly shared by my Suegra (mother -in-law) and originates from her native Tecoman, the Mexican coastal village of Colima, where she charmed the recipe from a local fishmonger as a young child. Buen Provecho!

Every month, we rotate a new emerging artist into our space to expose them to the world. Every 2nd Friday we participate in the Pilsen art walk affiliated with The Chicago Arts District. The day after that art walk we host a "Gala Event" to showcase our artists of the month and donate a percentage of the proceeds to charity organizations. A week before that we host a live art making events with 2 featured brains going head to head in a 3 hour class. Sometimes we have kids creative events and parties for people of all ages looking to have a great time inside a beautiful gallery. Sometimes we have workshops were other artists come in and teach a skill they have in our space. In our spare time we drink wine, eat clean, and laugh a lot.
