About Chicago ARTillery (2009) Chicago ARTillery, a collective and network of mostly Logan Square Artists, was based on community involvement and engagement with art. Chicago ARTillery works were not only about aesthetics but also about transformation that ask the audience to think, touch, and be part of the art.
Chicago
ARTillery organized Live Art Events,
both community participation and performance events where artists make
art in public. We brought art to the people in hopes to de-mystify the
artist — ensuring that artists and art are part of our community
everyday. In addition, through our collective painting, art was 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 promoted
the idea of urban
farming.
Chicago ARTillery organized exhibitions in non-traditional spaces to provided 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 seeked to make relationships with artists everywhere. See also photos in the right column and the Logan Square Holiday Show artists page. |
