Got this in the email box today — any readers who live, work, or have passed through Chicago, take note: This exhibition will present a selection of artists who have examined and artistically used the walls of Chicago as a template for creative pursuits. The grid of the city constitutes a living canvas, a nexus for exploration, reflection and contemplation. This show is not so much about hip-hop per se, as it is about showcasing artists who create work that reflects some of the uniqueness and spirit of the culture.
ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists working in this medium
