Testimonials:
"We wanted our wedding to be a bit different, so we weren't interested in a hotel or banquet hall. When I found ATC online, I had high hopes, and when we went to visit it in person I was even more impressed. The combination of the big windows and natural light, the creative 'graffiti' in the stairwell and the promise of an exciting exhibit really sold us. On the evening, everything looked amazing. Our assigned staff member went out of her way to make things run smoothly. We had the ceremony near the office, dancing along the windows, and food set up around the stairs. Our guests raved about the location, and we were told by many people that it was the most romantic and intimate wedding they'd ever been to." - Toby and Collette
"One Small Voice Foundation had the privilege to host Love is Blind at the Around the Coyote Gallery....we were not only able to exhibit the amazing artwork of 11 visually impaired/blind artists, we were able to host a silent auction raising funds and awareness for pediatric research for optic nerve hypoplasia and hydrocephalus. The Around the Coyote facility and staff were wonderful...the facility itself is amazing from the natural lighting to the beautiful ceilings. The staff was a pleasure to work with and very helpful. We look forward to another opportunity to work with Around the Coyote." - Debbie Katzbeck, One Small Voice Foundation"When Chicago Review needed a place to host its 60th anniversary party, we were lucky to find Around the Coyote. ATC's space was perfect for the event, which was attended by some 200 people throughout the night and included readings by an international group of poets (including Lisa Robertson and Tom Raworth) and music by the John Lennox Band. Allison and her staff were more than helpful; they cheerfully accommodated our somewhat idiosyncratic needs and helped us to put on an event that people are still talking about." - Bobby Baird, Chicago Review
