Prak-sis is a contemporary art gallery based in the heart of Chicago’s historic River North gallery district. Dedicated to presenting emerging and established artists, across diverse cultural backgrounds and disciplines: who demonstrate exceptional craftsmanship, distinctive artistic voices, and showcase a commitment to expanding the possibilities of their chosen mediums; with a particular emphasis on innovation, material experimentation, and conceptual rigor.

Founded in 2009 as a nonprofit by Miyeon Kwon, the gallery became private in 2017 to further support its represented artists. Guided by an internationally accredited team of art professionals, the gallery champions artists who create works that reflect deeply personal yet universally resonant perspectives.

Through exhibitions, curatorial projects, and collaborations with museums, businesses, and non-profit organizations, the gallery fosters meaningful dialogue between artists and audiences while promoting contemporary art on a global scale. Today, the gallery continues to serve as a platform for artists who challenge conventions, redefine contemporary practice, and contribute new perspectives to the evolving landscape of international contemporary art.
