Public Art Chicago

Mission Statement

Public Art Chicago is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to documenting all of Chicago's vast collection of public art. Our mission is to raise Chicago's profile as THE public art experience in the U.S., make Chicago's public art accessible to the world using web and mobile technologies, and create interactive educational tools to help teachers and students discover and learn about Chicago's public art.

We are currently in the process of developing smartphone and tablet apps that will guide users via GPS to specific objects or allow them to follow the paths of pre-set tours. Users will also be able to create their own tours and share them with connected friends, who can follow along on vicarious tours even if they are in other parts of the world.
