Life Force Arts Center is located at 3148 N Lincoln, Chicago. This is a storefront on the west side of Lincoln Avenue, just south of the intersection of Belmont, Lincoln and Ashland. We are between H & R Block and On The Road bicycles.

Directions & Parking

Parking: There is free street parking near the Center on the side streets south of Barry or west of Ashland. This is the option we recommend.

There is a City of Chicago metered parking lot on Barry Street, just south of the Center. The cost is one hour for $1 and you can put in up to $6 (6 hours). Meters in this lot are operational 24 hours a day.

There are also meters on the streets near the Center. We do not recommend parking at these meters since they cost $1 per hour and they are only two hour parking, and there is a $50 parking ticket if you overstay even a few minutes. These meters are operational from 8 AM – 9 PM seven days a week.
