Chicago, IL, July 22, 2026 —
The Art Institute of Chicago’s community art initiative, known as ‘Project Windows,’ has extended its reach to include businesses on the city’s Northwest Side. This program showcases artwork inspired by the museum’s annual exhibitions, bringing art out of the museum and into local establishments.
This year, ‘Project Windows’ is featuring art that draws inspiration from the current Willem de Kooning exhibition. These installations are now visible in various businesses across Chicago, offering residents and visitors opportunities to engage with art in their daily environments.
Among the new participants in the Northwest Side is the landmark Superdawg Drive-In, an iconic Chicago establishment. The expansion signifies a broader effort to connect the museum’s programming with diverse neighborhoods throughout the city.
The initiative also includes a component that allows the public to vote for their favorite installations. Further details regarding the voting process and the specific locations of all participating businesses are available through the Art Institute of Chicago.
