This past year has been very good for public art around Chicago.
Not great for many people, given the pandemic, the crazy politics, the gut-wrenching racial unrest. But good for public art.

The angst and anxiety thrust upon us in 2020 seemed to spur artists to paint even more deeply from the heart in an effort to capture what we were going through and maybe even provide a little balm for us all.
