the project
Special Service Area #21 and the Lincoln Square Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce are joining forces with YOU to paint the town red! Or blue! Or whatever other colors we choose! The Lincoln Square PaintWorks initiative pays local artists to create splashy public murals throughout the neighborhood. Our second mural will be placed on the western wall of the Cambodian Association of Illinois, clearly visible to traffic coming into the neighborhood from Albany Park.
The Artist for this project will be Brandin Hurley - bit.ly/2xHC8HN
Research has shown murals prevent blight, create more walkable communities, and enhance the values of surrounding properties. All of our murals are designed to enhance Lincoln Square - a neighborhood known for its public art and inviting public spaces. Each mural will be in place for no shorter than three years, with up to two new murals being added to Lincoln Square every year.
With your help, we can build upon Lincoln Square's reputation as a public art hotspot and reclaim our streets with color!
the steps
Early November (Brrr!) - site assessment
Mid November - painting (should take 2-3 days)
Public unveiling* to take place when work is complete!
(*there's no acutal veil, but we'll do our best)
why we're doing it
Lincoln Square is too often defined as the 'strip between the archways,' when actually it is much bigger! The PaintWorks initiative seeks to make new destinations all over Lincoln Square, drawing in new businesses and enhancing the experience of businesses and residents located near a project site.
