Chicago Park District
2026 Sculptures
< 2012-2013 Exhibitions | 2025 Exhibitions>
Chicago Sculpture International members in collaboration with Chicago Park District helped create this year's Sculpture in the Parks. Artists were chosen for their large-scale outdoor works that are suitable for year-round Midwest weather. In 2024 we installed 10 new sculptures in Austin Town Hall, Mayfair Park, Indian Boundary Park, Jackson Park, Ridge Park, Berger Park, Tuley Park, Calumet Park and South Shore Cultural Center. Also in 2024, seven sculptures were deinstalled in Douglass Park, Humboldt Park, Palmer Park, Piotrowski Park, Hamilton Park, and West Pullman Park.
