driving instructions to the Tarble Arts Center from Chicago:

(2 1/2 - 3 1/2 hours from the Loop, depending upon traffic and construction)

Take I-94 east to I-57 south (2 lanes of I-94 merge off to become I-57 around 95th Street)

Take I-57 south to Illinois Route 16/Charleston exit (about 1 hour south of Champaign)

Take IL-16 east into Charleston and stay on IL-16 (Lincoln Avenue)

By the time you pass the “castle” (EIU’s main administration building) get in the right lane (the castle is bounded by 4th and 7th Streets)

Turn right (south) onto 9th Street -- this is one block east of the castle building
-- there is a right turn lane and a stoplight
-- watch for the Citgo station on the corner

Go south on 9th Street.

The Tarble is the white brick building on the right after the 4-way stop.
The Tarble Arts Center is located on south 9th Street at Cleveland Avenue.

Visitor parking is available in the lot just northwest of the Tarble on 9th Street as marked – to reach the Tarble lot enter via the large lot which parallels 9th Street. Parking in the large lot is open to visitors on weekends and after 5pm on weekdays.
