Invitation Wall
Art is an invitation—an invitation to see, think and feel in a new way and to be changed by the experience. Invitation Wall is the museum’s 40-foot outdoor public art exhibition space that reflects the museum’s commitment to radical hospitality. All are invited, welcome, and valued.
The current mural is by Andrea Carlson (Ojibwe) and called Still Here: Zhegagoynak.
Major funding is provided by Terra Foundation for American Art and the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events.
