GLENVIEW COMMUNITY MURAL

The Glenview community mural is a big group project completed in 2026, celebrating the natural areas that are preserved, restored, and enjoyed in Glenview. This project is funded by a grant from Cook County Arts, as part of the Suburban Creative Placemaking program that includes 13 exciting projects throughout the Chicago suburbs. The program is being administered by Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC). It continues to be a creative collaboration of many individuals and local groups, including lead artist Anne Farley Gaines, The Glenview Art League, The Friends of Downtown Glenview, the Glenview History Center, Greener Glenview, the Glenview Public Library, the Glenview Chamber of Commerce, Oil Lamp Theater, the Village of Glenview, and more.
