Construction Updates: November 6, 2024
Please be advised of the following upcoming and ongoing construction in the ward:
New Mural at Edgewater Library
Have you seen the new mural being installed on the front of the Edgewater Library? This new mural is one of eight special public art projects that the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE) received special capital funds to install in the months before and after the Democractic National Convention. DCASE and the Mayor's Office convened a cohort of four mural organizations including the Chicago Public Art Group to find an artist and work on a design to fit an AAPI & Diversity theme.
The cohort reached out to many local AAPI and historical organizations including the South-East Asia Center, the Vietnamese Association of Illinois, the Edgewater Historical Society, the Indo-American Center, and many others for feedback in the design process. Stop by the Edgewater Library at 6000 N Broadway to see the vibrant new display!
