Joy Machine is a contemporary art gallery in Chicago’s Irving Park neighborhood. Founded in 2025 by Grace Ebert and Christopher Jobson, the gallery exhibits works by emerging and established artists, with a particular focus on creating dialogues between those working locally and others making their Chicago debuts. Fostering joy through accessibility and the unexpected remains a central tenet of our programming. Image: Installation view of Light Preserver (2025). Photo by Daniel Kwon
