The Chicago Blackhawks will be the first team to visit a Chicago home design this season, as the team will be home to the Chicago Blackhawks Design Museum.
The Blackhawks will have the Chicago Design Museum at Soldier Field for a special two-day event from July 27 to Aug. 2.
The museum will be located at 1701 N. Clybourn Ave., just off the University of Illinois at Chicago campus.
The Chicago Design Center, which opened in May, will house Chicago-based designers and artisans who have contributed to the city’s art and architecture.
The new design museum is a new initiative to bring Chicago’s unique design culture to the world.
“The Blackhawks Design Center is dedicated to bringing the Blackhawks and Chicago architecture to the international stage,” Blackhawks President Brian Burke said in a statement.
“It will be a truly inspiring place to learn about our city and our heritage and the incredible architecture that we’ve created over the past 50 years.”
The Blackhawks Design Lab is the Chicago branch of the Chicago Institute of Art, which includes the design team behind the Chicago Redevelopment Authority, Chicago Public Schools, and many of the citys most iconic buildings, including Wrigley Field, Soldier Field, and Wrigger Field.
“When we first opened the Blackhawks Design Laboratory, it was a dream come true for many of us,” Burke said.
“As we work towards opening our design museum, the Chicago Architecture Foundation will be making significant contributions to the exhibit, with its permanent collection of more than 500 pieces, as well as a new gallery to bring more design into the spotlight of our community.”
Burke also said the Chicago Museum of Art is interested in contributing to the design museum’s exhibition, and said the museum will have a permanent exhibition of Chicago’s architecture and design in 2018.
“Chicago is a special city, and it is very important to us to bring the Chicago architecture and architecture design to life,” Burke added.
“We look forward to sharing our unique design with the world through this exciting event.
We look forward and welcome everyone to visit the Chicago design museum in 2018.”
Chicago Blackhawks owner and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced the new design project earlier this month, with Burke joining Emanuel to unveil the Chicago-designed museum.
The design museum will host exhibitions from July, August, and September, and the museum is open for tours from Sept. 9-Oct. 3.
