Long-Term Vision

“To transform a neighborhood, we have to help people believe that beautiful things can happen there. Arts and culture are some of the ways we can do that,” Gates said. “Investing in people’s abilities and developing space for

creativity to thrive are ways we can

demonstrate that belief.”-Theaster Gates

“Starting with the Arts Incubator more than three years ago, members of the Washington Park community have provided input and ideas to help realize the great potential

of East Garfield Boulevard,” “These efforts already havebrought new cultural and retail activity that benefits both

the University of Chicago and the

neighborhood. I look forward to continuing to

partner with the University to pave the way for future growth along this important thoroughfare and in the Washington Park neighborhood.”-Alderman Pat Dowell

“We turn bone into beautiful, dust into magic.”

-Avery R. Young Arts Incubator former Artist-in-Residence, in describing the transformation of the corner of 55th

and Prairie in Washington Park
