Our tour is perfect for those who love art and want to learn more about Chicago’s downtown public art. The tour focuses on the major sculptural works along Dearborn Street, outside The Art Institute of Chicago, and in Grant Park. We will learn the stories of how each of these remarkable works came to be, the artists behind them, how people reacted to them, and why they still matter today. We will marvel at the variety of artworks here: some are steel, some are stone, some are modern, some are classical, some are fountains, some were immediately beloved, while others provoked controversy. We will experience all the excitement of 20th century public art on this art-full walking tour of Chicago’s downtown.
