About Chicago ARTillery Chicago ARTillery is a collective and network of mostly Logan Square Artists whose works are based on community involvement, education, the democratic process and engagement with art. The works made are either in a collective consensus process or they represent the values of democracy with alternatives and options to the status quo. Chicago ARTillery works are not only about aesthetics but also about transformation. Many of Chicago ARTillery works are either painted collectively or have various ways that they can be displayed allows the audience to determine how to position them. The Chicago ARTillery Collective asks the audience to think, touch, move, and rearrange the works.
Chicago
ARTillery organizes Live Art Events,
both community participation and performance events where artists make
art in public. We seek to bring art to the people and de-mystify the artist
— ensuring that artists and art are part of our community everyday.
In addition, through our collective painting, art can be made by all and
for all.
One
of our inaugural projects was the 2009
Milwaukee Avenue Arts Festival. Chicago ARTillery organized
and coordinated the art exhibitions, live art masterpiece battle, open
studios and indoor art market at this first annual arts festival.
The temporary art galleries featured a diverse spectrum of art with unique
curators at each space. We brought visual stimulus to the neighborhood
and created many relationships between artists and the community by using
donated empty storefronts converted into galleries as well as displaying
art in local establishments along Milwaukee Avenue for the festival.
As
part of the "Till" of ARTillery, Chicago ARTillery promotes
and assists in organizing urban farms and the idea of urban
farming. We see growing food as a art form and our very local contribution
to Logan Square and the surrounding community.
Chicago ARTillery organizes exhibitions in non-traditional spaces to provide venue for artists including it's core collective members, network members and artists in the city at large and internationally. With a focus on local, we also seek to make relationships with artists everywhere.. Chicago
