About Us
The Kalo Foundation of Park Ridge was established in
2006. It is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the rich
artistic legacy of the city through
education,
advocacy, and preservation, as well as promoting the arts & crafts as an
integral part of our modern lives. Based on the ideals of the American
Arts and Crafts Movement, the Foundation will sponsor educational seminars,
exhibits, tours, publications and special events to increase awareness and
appreciation of the arts and crafts.
The initial goal of the organization is to acquire and renovate the famous Kalo House on Grant Street in Park Ridge. Restoring the Kalo House to a modern-day arts and crafts community house will preserve one of the most significant Arts & Crafts architectural and cultural treasures in the Midwest for future generations. (see Kalo History for background on The Kalo House.)
