The Keyboard Cat Lounge

hip-hop, folk, pop and Hispanic music artists at night; and a space that can be used for art gallery and craft events during the day. We want to focus on getting the names of these talented people out there and helping them profit from their talent. Being artists ourselves, we know the struggle of earning from our own art. Most galleries take 50% commission on their featured artists work. Most musicians that play shows in Chicago get paid in drink tickets & a negligible percentage of door sales. We want to be a small beacon of light in the darkness that is the Chicago Art Scene. By providing musicians with a larger cut of ticket sales, and providing artists with the opportunity to keep 100% of money made on their art sales, we plan to change the way musicians and artists are treated in Chicago.
