Chicago's Public Art Program

Program overview and collection highlights
Expressions of a culture’s concerns and beliefs through murals, paintings, sculpture and other artistic forms have existed for thousands of years. Artists and communities around the world continue the tradition of erecting monuments to commemorate events and people of importance. Chicago is no exception. Monuments were erected in the city before the city’s incorporation in 1837, a tradition that continues to the present day.
