About the Mural Arts Project:

Located in the heart of the Ogden Avenue Corridor at 3216 W. Ogden Ave., the Mural Arts Park (MAP) will be a state-of-the-art welcoming destination that celebrates creativity, community and the mural arts. Designed as a calming space rooted in hope and peace, MAP will be free, accessible and open to the public year-round.

The campus will include a new single-story building and an expansive outdoor garden. The grounds will be home to about 30 large-scale murals by local and national artists, forming an immersive outdoor gallery. MAP will maintain a permanent collection of key murals while rotating elements of the collection to highlight new and local talent and keep the space dynamic.

Inside, MAP will offer creative classes and workshops for teens and adults in two dedicated studio spaces, along with a welcoming café and flexible areas for community events and gatherings. Together, these spaces position MAP as a creative hub for Chicago’s West Side, where culture and community come together.
