Janet Austin and Instituto Gráfico de Chicago are creating a permanent public sculpture for the Logan Square Blue Line CTA station! The community is invited to help shape this public piece of art at poetry and printmaking workshops this summer with a chance to have your work literally embedded into the final piece — turning a transit stop into a permanent community scrapbook.
The Instituto Gráfico de Chicago (IGC) is dedicated to maintaining the critical activist tradition of Latino printmaking that unites communities of struggle around the world. They are inspired by the socio-political art of Mexico's Taller de Grafica Popular (The People's Print Workshop) and use their art as a platform to inform and generate community discourse about urgent social issues. IGC believes that art is not separate from public life.
Janet Austin Janet Austin creates in sculptural media, including glass, mosaics, concrete, bronze, and steel. Her work can be found in public spaces across the country, including hospitals, parks, zoos, botanic gardens, plazas, and transportation hubs. Her pieces explore the relationships and connections between humans and nature on a monumental scale.
