Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's quote on public art: “Public art installations allow Chicagoans to be active participants in arts and culture, and as part of the Chicago Cultural Plan, we’ve made progress on a number of fronts to bring the arts directly to Chicago neighborhoods,” said Mayor Emanuel. “From Sculpture on the Boulevards to art installations on the lake front to more than 1,000 events … [Read more...]
Cement Relief Murals: Nair, Mitchell, Nivola and Scuri
Over the last 70 years, a few artists have worked in concrete or cement for relief sculpture in public spaces.
