Garfield Park art community getting new name

Driving the news: Nonprofit Big Car Collaborative announced the renaming of its five-acre campus on the city's south side late last week in preparation for the new museum's opening.

• The campus includes Big Car's existing Tube Factory artspace, affordable artist housing and a sculpture park.

The big picture: The $7 million project includes the addition of six galleries for commissioned exhibitions, a performance and event space, art studios, storefronts for creative businesses and a cafe.

• CAMi, as the entire campus will now be called, will continue to be free for the public to visit.

What they're saying: "We see now as the perfect time for us to further build a place that reimagines the role of the museum in the community while welcoming visitors from across the street and around the world," Big Car co-founder Shauta Marsh said in a news release.

What's next: The new museum will open with a public celebration in May.
