the project
The Lincoln Square Neighborhood Improvement Program needs your help painting the town red! Or blue! Or whatever colors we choose! Our PaintWorks mural initiative pays local artists to liven the public way with their art. PaintWorks' third mural will be placed on the southern wall of MINTS Medical (5111 N Lincoln Ave), a highly visible location that will help to brighten a corridor weighed down by storefront vacancies.
The Artist for this project will be Jason Watts - https://jwattsart.com/
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 July - site assessment
Mid July - 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.
