“Everybody is a Star” is an art series inspired by neighborhoods across the city, created to celebrate the talent, culture, and pride that make Chicago glow.
The Magnificent Mile Association worked with CNL Projects to commission Englewood Arts Collective (EAC) to exhibit six Chicago-based artists, five of whom are founding members of the Collective. Creative Director, Artist, and Curator Janell Nelson of EAC invited each selected artist to reimagine a “rising star” sculpture in their unique style.
Find all six sculptures by Bianca Pastel, Just Flo, Joe Nelson, Pugs Atomz, Stef Skills, and JoVonna Jackson at 625 North Michigan Avenue, Starbucks Reserve Roastery, The Shops at North Bridge, 875 North Michigan Avenue, and Water Tower Place.
