Over Memorial Day weekend I was in Chicago and I visited some Murals in the Humbolt Park Area. I hoped to gain some inspiration from the designs and ideas within the works of art. The area is very community themed and they were able to express this characteristic through works of public art. I am encouraged by these pieces and I hope to see this same encouragement found in and around Normal.
Chicago Center for Hope, on Logan Sq. Blvd 
"Born of Fire: The Great Wall of Puerto Rican Resistance in Chicago" Designed by Martin Soto 
Outside two Buildings on Western Ave. There is so much more neighborhood character exhibited through the use of these murals.
