Mobile Bold Plans Big Dreams Art Gallery

Mobile Bold Plans Big Dreams Art Gallery

Join Art on Track artists who will transform an orange line elevated train car into an environment constructed to blend educational information with their depictions of the future here in Chicago. The mobile Bold Plans Big Dreams gallery will feature artwork ranging from the conceptual to site-specific and include sculpture, painting, and installations.

The viewer, inside the train car, will be able to read information about the planning surrounding Chicago's development as they look and interact with visual representations. This combination of visuals and meaning will incorporate the audience into the process Chicago went through and show them where it may go still. The CTA is the iron workhorse of the city and provides an excellent platform for the presentation of a creative, fun, interactive, and educational environment for the Burnham Centennial.

The Bold Plans Big Dream mobile gallery will depart approximately every 15 minutes from 11 am - 8 pm at the Adams and Wabash Street L stop.
