This project focuses on the intersection of culture and infrastructure. One affects the other. It takes the community to build the intangible — the energy that creatives and artists imbue in projects build culture. Our concept is to use the CTA’s Green Line to highlight essential connective tissue as a way to bring attention to all of the neighborhoods whose development has been and must continue to be bolstered by essential infrastructure in the form of public transportation, housing and the creation of density to promote business and economic vitality.

Mission

Our goal is to create a unified campaign highlighting and inviting people to spaces of cultural production in Chicago. We're prioritizing community input for our themes, collaborating with six community-based organizations along the Green Line as our anchor partners. Each will activate their space around a theme aligned with their mission and Chicago's strengths.
