These 40 vibrant artworks can be viewed throughout the Greektown neighborhood along South Halsted Street from Madison Street to Van Buren Street, as well as in Greektown businesses. The exhibit will be on display from June 9 through May 2027.

Professional and emerging artists featured in this year’s Greektown art exhibition include Arturo Barrera, Susan Stevens, Juan Cano, Alexandra Damato, Malika Jackson, Bonnie Loboda, Victoria Martin and Max Li.

The exhibit features a golden flaming torch with a scroll to represent the Declaration of Independence, as well as 20 painted sculptures and 20 paintings on canvas that display interpretations of the natural and moral beauty of the U.S.  Visitors can enjoy the artworks while exploring the historic Greektown neighborhood for a whole year.
