Hey

I am going to the Chi this month. 

I am looking for some dope street art to see, visit a cool museum or 2 and a few galleries. 

So far i have I plan to hit up Vertical gallery and Line Dot Editions. I also found a Hebru Brantley mural. 

I would love to actually see some banksy prints or art in the streets if any exist anymore. 

Any advice is much appreciated.

I second Sentrock -his murals are dope and he just opened a studio for underprivileged -Tubzilla also does some sweet calligraphy murals -Chicago is loaded with local works -JC Rivera , Hebru

Galerie F is a pop culture/gig poster/urban art gallery that has some cool stuff worth checking out. Last I've seen, Line Dot has a Banksy print hanging that's for sale if ya got deep pockets

There's a bunch of cool murals scattered around Chicago. Definitely check out the Jerkface collab of Genie/Robin Williams on Concord Theater. In Wicker Park, there's a Jerkface Cheshire Cat mural, 2 Hebru pieces, and My Dog Sighs. There's also Shepard Fairey, Pose, Eine, Retna, Cleon (I think it's blocked by a new building now ) in the Loop. Oh, and a TON of JC Rivera's scattered everywhere.

I'm probably missing some, but hopefully that helps. I can pinpoint specifically where these are located if ya need.

[teabaggins]

wabashartscorridor.org/ is a must see. Also the Lacuna artist lofts.

Send me a message when you are in town.

[Chris JL]

Not street art at all but... I always stop by to rewatch Hopper’s Nighthawks, and the surrounding permanent beauties and temporary exhibitions, at The Art Institute of Chicago 😊

[Art Groupie NYC]

Check out Chicago Truborn at 1741 W Chicago Ave there’s a beautiful Eelco mural on the facade & the owner Sara will have tips on murals in the area.

[touchdowntodd]

There's a small gallery @gallerycolondro 1.5 hours north in Milwaukee that's a cool little spot

Definitely worth taking part of the afternoon and exploring the Art Institute of Chicago, quite possibly one of the best collections from past / modern masters ever assembled.

The banksy is loooong gone unfortunately. This article is old but feel free to PM me for any updated advice:

I think it is sold out, the artwork is a bargain.

I'm still waiting for my commission, it's due in August, I'm looking forward to it. Imon Boy is something special, I don't like all his work, but most of it is great.

[succionator]

his style is very personal, his characters, the police, the cats, the dogs are present in many of his compositions, the graffiti, the treatment of lights and Shadows.
