On Saturday, April 15th, Rebuild Foundation will be hosting a daylong house music party at the Stony Island Arts Bank, with sets by prominent local DJs who continue the legacy of the pioneering “godfather of house music” Frankie Knuckles. Between sets, catch a preview of Rebuild Foundation's latest documentary, "My Frankie: Reflections on the Music and Life of Frankie Knuckles,” which chronicles Frankie's artistry and unique ability to curate liberatory space through sound.
Theaster Gates' Rebuild Foundation is the proud steward of Frankie Knuckles’s collection of over 4,000 vinyl records and pieces of ephemera, which is currently being digitized in partnership with the Frankie Knuckles Foundation.
Make a reservation to have dinner on 53rd street at Virtue (1462 E 53rd St, Chicago, IL 60615) to enjoy the spot’s Southern cuisine and a culture of kindness :) Note: seats sell out quickly!
