The Greetings from Chicago Mural

The Greetings from Chicago Mural was one of the initial pieces of a nationwide mural project creating interactive modern landmarks through public art. The name of the city CHICAGO was spelled out in bold letters while incorporating pertinent imagery to the city within the letters, drawing inspiration from the large letter postcard that became popular in the middle of the 20th century. The piece of art, which is about 30 feet wide by 15 feet tall, was made with spray paint and latex.

The mural is located in Chicago, Illinois's Logan Square neighborhood. This project's overarching objective is to involve the community in the creation of public art through education, voice, active participation, representation, and experience on a national level.

The mural has become the most photographed wall in Chicago, IL and daily interaction with it can been seen on social media using the location “Chicago’s Home Mural” (Facebook & Instagram.) The artwork also took on a life of its own getting numerous positive reviews on Google and Yelp pages created by the public. Locals have been so proud of the artwork that they tattooed it on themselves!
