We are no longer active as a collective, but we had fun in 2009 and did allot in a short amount of time. We invite you to check out our member's projects! You can contact individual members

Live Art Events 2009

Chicago ARTillery organizes live arts 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.

Chicago ARTillery organized three Live Art Events leading up to the 2009 Milwaukee Avenue Arts Festival in Summer 2009. Artists were invited to participate along with families in the community to create original paintings as well as participate in collective paintings. The canvases were and supplies were donated and funded by local organizations. The completed work was auctioned off at the Milwaukee Avenue Arts Festival 5-hour Gallery and the Silent Art Auction II and Neighborhood Urban Agriculture Fair to benefit Logan Square's Paseo Prairie Garden, Unity Park and the Logan Square Farmers Market.
