CPAG on TV and Thanks for Painting the Town!


CPAG on WTTW's Chicago Tonight, Tonight! 11/9/10. 7pm CTE!
Set those DVRs or be around a TV tonight, as Chicago Public Art Group's playground art is being spotlighted in a segment for tonight's episode of Chicago Tonight at 7pm CTE, on WTTW.

For several years, CPAG and its artists have been creating playful artistic elements for numerous Chicago Park District playgrounds, such as Slimey the Snake, pictured here, from Commercial Club Park (created by Phil Schuster and Henri Marquet).

Tune in tonight to learn more about this type of playful art. Click here to see if WTTW (Chicago's PBS station) is available on your television.
