What We Do

We bring communities together through art and design to make our city a great place to live for all Chicagoans. We engage residents and partnering organizations in creative endeavors that improve public space and advance the social, cultural, economic, and health goals of a community. Through our collaborative art and design process, people are empowered to shape how their environments look, feel, and are used, and to impact the future of their communities. Learn More
