Tomorrow! Friday 11/18 at 2:30, join CPAG, Chicago Foundation for Women, and Chicago Park District in celebrating "Jane Addams: An Homage," the new public art piece adorning the Pedestrian Underpass at Ohio St. and Lake Shore Drive!

Here's a link to a google map that shows the location of the underpass.

The Windy City Times has a short story about the Underpass, too.

Tomorrow! Saturday, 11/12, 2pm! Come CELEBRA TE the AMAZING Aqua Interlude & Reflection Glass Mosaic Project at the Columbus Dr. Pedestrian Underpass- just north of Roosevelt! This 1,600 sq. ft. mosaic was made possible by over 50 youth apprentices, a top-notch group of artists (lead by Maria Gaspar & Mirtes Zwierzynski), and After School Matters. The panels were completed on tables in the ASM tent this summer (pictured left), and installed this fall. This is an astounding project- come see it and the people who made it possible!
Assistant Artists: Julia Sowles-Barlow, Allison Nault, Joann Li, Adele Moss, and Monica Tantoco
