Beyond the Walls: The Art Behind Oak Park’s Mini Murals

You’ve admired the stunning murals along the train tracks in Oak Park—maybe you even have a favorite. Now, step into the creative world behind these masterpieces!

Join the Oak Park Area Arts Council and the Park District of Oak Park for an exclusive evening at Cheney Mansion, where you’ll meet the artists who brought these vibrant murals to life.

Some of these talented muralists will be on hand, showcasing miniature canvas versions of their large-scale works and sharing the stories behind their inspiration, vision, and artistic process.
