West Loop's Rotating Murals Attract Growing Numbers of Art Enthusiasts

The West Loop stands out for its extensive outdoor collection of murals, tags and stickers that residents reference when describing the area's character. This mix of commissioned and independent pieces appears across building walls and corners throughout the neighborhood.

Recognition as an Outdoor Gallery

Local observers note the West Loop's identity as Chicago's coolest neighborhood stems directly from this visible street art presence. The collection includes both officially approved installations and unofficial additions that together create the current visual environment.

Hebru Brantley's large-scale Super Hero mural remains visible at Urbanbelly on 151 N Ogden Ave. Jenny Vyas created the #HowYouWillRISE winged woman piece on the Nonna's Pizza building at 925 W Randolph.
