Sunny Rocks on Hubbard Street During the summer of 2003, the image of my "Sunny Rosks" painting got selected to be put on a wall of a mile-long Hubbard Street Mural in downtown Chicago. The mural, approximately 12’X12’, was completed by me and other artists under my direction. Painted with durable concrete paints, (guaranteed to last outdoors for at least 40 years). The Hubbard Street Murals were originally painted throughout the seventies and into the eighties. A few years ago, the railroad decided to strengthen the train embankment by replacing and repairing it, unfortunately affecting a lot of artwork on the panels of the embankment in the process. When this overhaul began, Fred Montano, one of the original founders of the mural project, decided to seek out people who would be interested in trying to restore some panels, and bring new artwork to the new embankments. After reaching an agreement with the railroad and receiving support from Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs in conjunction with the Illinois Arts Council, the organization began the process of completing the mural. Each year, interested artists can submit their images and the committee selects approximately 10 images to be included in a mural. During the summer, a group of artists and volunteers works to put the selected images on a wall. The project is always in need of participants, donations, etc. For more information, contact: |
