If you haven\u2019t heard of them, the two brothers ventured to America from China in 1986, and since it was close to Chinatown, they chose Bridgeport as their site of operations. Settling on a dark, gloomy warehouse, the Zhou Brothers gradually transformed the space into a blossoming art community, and they haven\u2019t looked back since.<\/p>\n<p>You can check out the transformation in the video below:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/110808953?dnt=1&#038;app_id=122963\" width=\"1278\" height=\"719\" frameborder=\"0\" title=\"Zhou B Art Center: 10 Years of Art Innovation.\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Zhou B Art Center will be hosting a very special \u201cThird Friday\u201d event this time around, as Mayor Emmanuel will be on site to officially dedicate the stretch of road near the building as \u201cZhou Brothers Way\u201d at 5 pm on Friday. A performance by Bryant Young Professionals and Chicago\u2019s very own Lili K will follow.<\/p>\n<p>Nowadays, the Zhou Brothers are world-renowned artists, with works shown in galleries in Los Angeles, New York, London, Hong Kong, Berlin, and Budapest. The two are a highlight reel in themselves, but the true show at the Zhou B Art Center begins with the collections of the other resident artists within its doors.<\/p>\n<p>Among them is Martin Bernstein, the first resident artist to move into the building. Bernstein\u2019s entire studio is emits a positive energy, which is evident right as you step foot on the third floor and see the magical, woodland paradise extending beyond his door. Check out the pics below for a taste of his work, and visit him at Studio 310 for an up close and personal look at his collection of art and jewelry.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Zhou B Art Center is located at\u00a01029 W 35th St. Doors open at 7 pm on Third Fridays.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;]<a
