What is E(art)H Chicago?

Pronounced Earth Art Chicago, the program is a citywide community-based art initiative to raise awareness, create dialogue, and inspire action on climate change, natural resource use, and environmental justice.

With more than $300,000 in funding for local artists to be awarded through a competitive online application process, the E(art)H Chicago program will highlight artists and communities directly impacted by industrially polluted corridors, centering voices typically left out of the climate conversation.

Citywide placement of funded artworks in Chicago neighborhoods and downtown during summer 2023 will create an interconnected experience of art and the environment.

Each installation will educate, inspire, and encourage people to take action and explore all of the art pieces throughout the city.
