Local artist group steps up to give back to the West Humboldt Park community.
Matanky Realty Group today announces its partnership with NATIVE 312 to beautify boarded up stores with art. The installation is taking place at Chicago Kedzie Plaza.
As a local, arts forward events company, NATIVE 312 offers workshops and walking tours across the city. When the Matanky team began its clean up and board up efforts, NATIVE 312 immediately reached out to offer its services. Following an initial conversation, the group immediately jumped into action, gathering 12 artists to paint boarded up stores with vibrant murals and timely cultural pieces.
“We’ve seen an incredible, positive response from the community,” said James Matanky, CEO of Matanky Realty Group. “NATIVE 312 has transformed formerly blank boards into stunning works of art that bring positivity to our community.”
Though our tenants are eager to return to normalcy, these temporary murals will remain on display for a short time at 800 N. Kedzie Ave.
