diy new media art space

Projector, table, and desktop supplied to artists, in the VGA Project Lab.

VGA Project Lab was an experimental new media art space that provided a platform for genre-expanding art exhibitions, publications, screenings, and open-source scholarship. The Project Lab is now closed as of April 2025.

As a flexible studio/gallery/classroom space, VGA Project Lab was an independent resource and third space for local and international new media artists to develop their practices and contribute to the vibrant video game community in Chicago and beyond.

Thank you to all who participated in VGA’s programming at Mana Contemporary!
