Street art returns with a twist

Building on the success of Opportunity Knocks—the city’s first public art project—the Street Art Commission is bringing its kaleidoscope of doors back to 159th and Cicero Avenue with a new twist. This year, artists will be recreating their favorite American television shows.

If you would like to be a part of this project, download the application form and/or e-mail Alderman Diane Wolf at dwolf@oak-forest.org. Applications are due by May 6.
