About Links Hall at Constellation Chicago
Links Hall at Constellation Chicago is a two-space performing arts venue and longtime arts incubator located at 3111 N Western Ave in Chicago. Known for experimental work and the Instigation Festival, the venue supports creators through intimate, production-ready spaces. Note that as of 2025, the venue underwent changes with permanent updates to its status.

Two spaces within Constellation Chicago serve different purposes: the White Box (Studio A) is a flexible, fixed-seating venue with a capacity of up to 80, ideal for intimate performances, while the Black Box (Studio B) is used primarily for rehearsals and may have variable configurations. If you’re securing seats, we’ve got you—check availability for the White Box, and reach out for guidance on rehearsals or pop-up events in the Black Box.
Parking at Links Hall is not on-site. Street parking on Western Ave is available after 6 PM, with additional meter or time-limited spots on nearby blocks. Plan to arrive a little early to secure a space. For transit, CTA bus routes along Western Ave (such as 49 Berwyn / x49 Berwyn and 77 Cumberland) provide convenient access, with nearby Blue and Red Line stops reachable via short bus connections. If you’re visiting from out of town, consider staying at a nearby hotel like Best Western Plus Hawthorne Terrace (3434 N Broadway), about 1–2 miles away, or explore other local lodging via partner recommendations. We’ll help you find trusted hotels and dining options close to the venue, including affiliate partner picks for reliability and ease of booking. Links Hall’s history includes significant moments in Chicago’s experimental scene, with continued programming supported by notable arts funders.
