ChiTech Public Art Proposal
ChiTech was approached by Lynn Basa, a Chicago based artist with the opportunity to collaborate on a public art proposal for the 12th district. Students learned about the history of where their school was located, did an onsite visit, discussed and conceptualized ideas for the sculpture, and worked with Lynn on pitching their ideas to the city of Chicago Public Arts Team. Our team's vision was to create an artwork for the plaza that would create an inviting and dynamic sense of place, celebrate the rich history of the neighborhood, and promote exchange among diverse audiences.
