HistoryIn 1971, a group of artists concerned with the relationship of art to society formed the Chicago Mural Group, later renamed the Chicago Public Art Group (CPAG). The founding mission was to establish creative partnerships between artists and communities in an effort to transform and enhance the lives of residents in urban Chicago neighborhoods. Over three decades, what began as a mural-based cooperative broadened to include mosaics, sculpture, landscape design, and sponsorship of workshops and symposia.SpecialtiesThe Chicago Public Art Group mission is to unite artists and communities in partnership to produce quality public art and to extend and transform the tradition of collaborative, community involved, public artwork. Chicago Public Art Group goals have remained consistent over 30+ historic years of art making. * Design public art projects in partnership with the communities while maintaining a high level of artistic quality. * Introduce creative skills to children and adults, thereby providing them with tools to articulate their ideas and observations and the confidence to transform their physical environment. * Train and educate professional artists in the process of creating community responsive art projects, enabling them to become responsible leaders in the field of public art. * Educate communities to the social and aesthetic possibilities of collaborative public art.
