The Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE) Public Art team is currently managing nearly 80 public art projects in airports, libraries, transit hubs, and other spaces—totaling $11 million in investments across 26 wards in 2024. DCASE is working on several public art projects to be completed this summer and fall, including a neighborhood murals initiative as well as unique "moving murals" on the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) Blue, Green, and Orange lines.
The artist-designed train wraps project, titled “Track(ed) Changes: Democracy runs through our neighborhoods,” is produced and project managed by the DCASE Public Art team in collaboration with the CTA—and curated by Chicago-based graphic designer and artist Bob Faust. Participating artists include: Brandon Breaux, Bob Faust, Kristoffer McAfee, Noel Mercado, Carlos Rolón, Esperanza Rosas, Territory, and youth artists with Urban Gateways.
