THE UNDERCROFT GALLERY

Arts & Culture

The Undercroft Gallery is a cooperative effort among Christ Church, The Lake County Art League, and Lake County Arts Magazine. The Undercroft features local artists ranging from well-known professionals, to amateurs and talented students. Typically each exhibit lasts two months. October and November are dedicated to art by veterans and their families. Most of the works are for sale. The Gallery is located in the Layson Room in the undercroft of Christ Church. Twenty-five percent of the sale of works in the Undercroft supports outreach ministry at Christ Episcopal Church.   

Hours are by appointment and during periodic Exhibitions. To arrange an appointment to tour the Gallery you can call Ali Albakri at 224-381-0321 or call/text Fr. Rich Frontjes at 224-669-4533.
