The black cat’s out of the bag!
Celebrating all the colors and creatures of the season, this exclusive Halloween experience features special treats, spellbinding photo opps, a monstrously fun scavenger hunt, and a pumpkin patch like never before. Every ticket (starting at $36) to the exhibit includes a variety of signature Haunted Hues giveaways and fresh seasonal treats.
Guests will also have the option to add on a brand new scavenger hunt for hidden monsters throughout the experience . Each of these colors has a monstrous past, can you help track them all down before it’s too late?
The highly-anticipated, third permanent location from Color Factory debuted in Chicago last June. The beloved destination immerses Chicagoans in art and color with experiences that engage all the senses including installations throughout its 15 rooms and local artist partnerships across over 25,000 square feet. Color Factory wants all its visitors to experience artful wonder and to engage their senses in unexpected ways. Above all, Color Factory seeks to make the joy of art and color accessible.
Partnering with both local and internationally-known artists and creatives, Color Factory Chicago is designed specifically for the Windy City and takes guests on a unique, dynamic, and colorful journey. Local artists Edra Soto and Akilah Townsend worked with Color Factory to develop an interactive Chicago color palette; international artist Camille Walala has created an expansive maze inspired by the city’s architecture, while Yuri Suzuki’s experience plays with the connection between what we see and what we hear. Additionally, Color Factory partners with local institutions like the Museum of Contemporary Art,, nonprofits like SocialWorks and 826CHI, as well as small businesses like Kurimu and Bon Femme throughout the year.

ABOUT COLOR FACTORY
Color Factory is an immersive art experience that invites visitors to experience the joy of color through multi-sensory installations, immersive rooms, and carefully curated moments. In each of our locations, Color Factory collaborates with artists, art institutions, nonprofits, and brand partners to bring more art and color to the world.
At the core of Color Factory’s mission and work are our partner artists. These creatives, designers, and makers tell their unique stories through site-specific exhibits created just for Color Factory. Our experiences are thoughtfully designed to awaken natural curiosity and encourage uninhibited play. Every hue is hand-selected and paired with a sensory experience to unleash the full power and impact of color. Inspired by the cities that we call home, we create custom palettes for each of our locations and work to identify local charities and businesses to support and give back to the community.
Since our 2017 launch with a temporary space in San Francisco, Color Factory has grown into a series of permanent locations in New York and Houston, with a new flagship location in Chicago.
Evenings have been tailor-made to dazzle. Live music, aerialists, burlesque stars, theatrical acts, dancers, contortionists, showgirls, stilt walkers, and other performers add an air of possibility to each event. For those wanting to elevate the evening, VIP tickets offer exclusive extras such as early access, caviar sampling, petit fours, casino and speakeasy experiences, and much more. For those wishing to take the evening to the next level, there are Jay Gatsby Tables offering reserved seating in a velvet-roped area and preferred views of the main stage, complete with table service throughout the evening.
An era-inspired beverage program has been developed specifically for the event by Broken Shaker, named “Best American Hotel Bar” at Tales of the Cocktail’s Spirited Awards and one of Esquire’s “Best Bars in America.” Guests of The Great Gatsby Party® are invited to revel the night away in their best black tie and flapper-inspired finery while the dancing commences and the bubbly flows.
