ABOUT METROPOLITAN CAPITAL BANK
Metropolitan Capital Bank is located in the North Annex of the historic Tree Studios, a workshop to many of Chicago’s artists over the past century. The Bank’s 2004 renovation restored many of the North Annex studios’ historic architectural qualities of this property to their original beauty, featuring terra cotta reliefs, period finishes, 18-ft. ceilings. In addition to preserving the physical building, Met Cap maintains a strong commitment to exhibit Chicago artists in a progressive corporate art exhibition program. This exhibition series is curated by Nixon Art Associates, Inc., an independent art advisor.
