SEPTEMBER 11 – 17
CRUSH celebrates art, urban beautification, creativity, and culture by enriching a community through an arts festival like no other. CRUSH started and still finds its home in RiNo (River North) Art District which defines itself as a community “Where Art is Made.” CRUSH celebrates the craft of graffiti and street artists who bring life to walls while maintaining the unique cultural identity in this rapidly evolving community. The annual event transforms streets and alleys into open-air galleries, allowing the neighborhood to attract positivity as well as transforming local businesses by adding character to store fronts and surrounding walls with colorful, creative murals. Join the experience during the annual event in Mid-September or visit the CRUSH Walls year round in the RiNo neighborhood.
