The vision for the new HotHouse seeks to build upon the founders Marguerite Horberg’s thirty years of experience building iconic and vernacular spaces for culture and fostering international exchange. It seeks to catalyze urban development in an underdeveloped part of the city and harness creative re-use materials and sustainable practices to transform vacant lots and neglected properties into a sanctuary for progressive culture.
This sanctuary will include a performing arts center, black box theater, miniature outdoor amphitheater, restaurant, artist’s residence, office space, green house, and gardens.
The Board of Directors and community based stakeholders members have identified a parcel of properties in the Bronzeville neighborhood on Chicago’s Southside to develop for this project. Pre-facility planning has included the drafting on the business plan and advancing key pieces of due diligence related to site acquisition.
