The Copernicus Center venues hosts Concerts, Cultural, Business and Community Events. Just as Northwest Chicago became host to MANY cultures ... so did the Copernicus Center. Our venue is a frequent host of international music events and theatrical performances from around the world. Our unique and historical theater has also hosted national stars such as Dickey Betts, Yes, Pat Benatar, Third Day, and more recently, YouTube stars such as DeFranco, Miranda Sings. and Girls Night In. The Copernicus Center is supported by the Copernicus Foundation [501c3 - non profit] which ensures that these rich cultural traditions will flourish for generations through its sponsorship of the performing arts and other activities. The preservation of one of Chicago's most historic theaters (former Gateway) is also important to the Copernicus Foundation. This gorgeous old theater was revitalized and modernized and is now ONE of the many venue spaces available at the Copernicus Center. The Copernicus Center [foundation] underwrites VENUE SPACE for many performing arts groups & non-profit community organizations on the Northwest side of Chicago. The Copernicus Center supports itself through DONATIONS & Venue Space Rentals.
