The 6100 S. Blackstone building has a reputation among art and cultural communities at a local, regional, and international level. Since its founding, Experimental Station has continued the building's mission of providing space for art and cultural events and supporting cultural producers from Chicago's South Side and beyond. One of their programs is Link Up Illinois program, which aims to increase the affordability and accessibility of fresh foods by doubling the value of Link or SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) purchases at farmers' markets, farm stands, food co-ops, and independent grocery and corner stores across Illinois.
