Vision
We envision a revival of Southeast Asian culture in the Asia on Argyle Corridor through place-based culturally relevant programming that draws the bridge between multi-generational community members, elicits cross cultural collaborations of artists, creative entrepreneurs, and cultural producers in order to create a strong, sustainable, thriving neighborhood into the future.
Space
HAIBAYÔ is a creative space curated by the non-profit organization Argyle Street Collective, founded by Jennifer “Nuky” Phạm and Hạc Trần. Located in the heart of the historic “Asia on Argyle” district in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood, HAIBAYÔ’s space will offer a café, teahouse, and non-alcoholic bar, as well as a curated retail incubation section showcasing the creative work and entrepreneurship of Asian American and BIPOC artists & makers.
