More Than a Venue
Located just minutes from McCormick Place—The Archive is a new event space & showroom that offers a unique, flexible setting for events up to 350 guests.
On the 10th and top floor of 329 W 18th St, the combined 24,000 square foot venue includes 7,000 square feet of flexible, open event space that can be conformed to many dining and programming needs as well as floor-to-ceiling windows and spectacular skyline views. The overall space is decorated with museum-grade objects throughout, and a fully furnished gallery walkway offers additional space for casual conversation, breakout meetings, and service stations. This space is suitable for an array of events including corporate events, private dinners, cocktail parties, weddings, trade shows, and more. It accommodates seated dinners up to 200 and receptions up to 350.
The Archive is distinct in its affiliation with Primitive– an iconic Chicago destination known for its collection of rare cultural objects, premium furnishings, personal adornment, and fine art.
