Unsung Heroes of Uptown:
A Public Art Show
“Art of People ON the Streets IN the Streets”
What this Series Was really about…
Unsung Heroes of Uptown” Art of People ON the Street IN the Street was sponsored by a grant from the city of Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs (DCASE) and JCDecaux which has gifted architect-designed bus shelters to cities all over the world. On display in bus shelters across Chicago from May through August 2024, it now continues indefinitely online. It may even be considered a template for future series in other locations or mediums.
This exhibition encourages us to see the “remarkable” in everyone. Taking the time, even for a moment, to talk to each other, expands not only our individual worlds severely narrowed by the Digital Age, but deepens our sense of compassion while, at the same time, addresses our biological need for connection to the world we all share. Bringing the art gallery to the street was also a perfect venue because it depicts us as Everymen and women in everyday life.
