William Hill Sculpture Garden


About William Hill Gallery

Located in the Woodlawn-Hyde Park community of Chicago, the William Hill Gallery exhibits the work of distinguished visual artists who are devoted to the critical investigation of nature, culture, race, gender, and the postcolonial imagination. With an emphasis on painting, photography, sculpture, video, and installation art, these artists highlight postmodern strategies, which challenge traditional modes of representation. William Hill Gallery is dedicated to the exhibition, scholarship, and acquisition of 21st-century international contemporary art.
