Project Details
Completed in Fall 2023, the Arts Lawn is an active public park that forms a crucial piece of the Arts Block, an emerging arts and culture corridor in the heart of Washington Park on Chicago’s South Side. The Arts Lawn is composed of diverse programmatic spaces that cater to various needs and uses for the community. A youth-designed performance pavilion, a student-designed ground mural, a lawn, a custom-designed terraced bench for viewing performances and outdoor films, a flexible arts marketplace, and a small community garden with a farm table all support the cultural vibrancy of the area.
