Chicago’s public art collection is vast, varied and endlessly interesting. Join CAC docent Ed McDevitt as he leads this engaging introduction to some of Chicago’s greatest public art treasures.
Due to the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, Chicago’s public art legacy is younger than Boston’s or New York City’s. Its vast collection of public art, however, is star-studded, widely varied, endlessly interesting—and still growing. Chicago Architecture Center docent Ed McDevitt leads this engaging introduction to some of Chicago’s greatest public art treasures.
