Cole Park

Beginning in September, Damon Reed will work with community members of the Chatham neighborhood to create a mosaic for a new playground honoring the park's namesake Nat King Cole as well as a dearly missed community member, Officer Wortham. The project is made possible by Friends of the Parks and Chicago Park District.

Museum Campus Mosaic Project

Chicago Public Art Group and After School Matters have partnered to bring 50 youth together under the supervision of Mirtes Zwierzynski & Maria Gaspar. The team will be working in Millennium Park to put together 1500 sq feet of mosaics that will be installed in the Columbus Pedestrian Underpass leading in to the Museum Campus. Here are a few photos of the work in progress!

Pioneer Social Work Restoration

Originally painted by Astrid Fuller in 1977, Pioneer Social Work is now being restored by Damon Reed and Max Sansing. The mural is located on the north wall of 57th Street, near Lake Park, beneath the Metra tracks. The restoration is made possible by the University of Chicago.
