A social justice art gallery housed at the University of Illinois at Chicago

1344 S. Halsted St., Chicago, Illinois 60607

The Chicago Justice Gallery (CJG), formerly the PUJA gallery, is a non-commercial arts space at the University of Illinois at Chicago that supports social justice artists and arts activism through exhibitions and public events.

Developed as an extension of the Social Justice Initiative, the gallery serves as a bridge to connect scholarship, activism, and educational arts with social justice themes.

The gallery is located two blocks north of the Chicago Arts District. It is one of the only galleries in the city solely devoted to the presentation and exploration of social justice through the lens of art.

Our current exhibit, We’re Not All Here / No Estamos Todes, is on view until August 7, 2026.

January & February open gallery hours:

  • Wednesdays, noon to 4:00 PM
  • Thursdays, noon to 4:00 PM
  • Fridays, noon to 4:00 PM

The gallery will be closed:

  • January 23, due to extreme weather
