We are excited to announce our collaboration on The Annex | Murals at The Hotel Chicago has expanded. Since Fall 2017 we have been consulting on an arts initiative at the Hotel Chicago West Loop. In spring of 2018 the Hotel Chicago West Loop began recruiting Chicago-basded artists to create murals inside guest rooms, and two murals were created by Asend and JC Rivera. This fall, four more works will debut. Asend was invited back by popular demand, and three new artist were selected to make contributions: Elloo, Josh Grotto, and Brandin Hurley. This second wave of mural additions marks dedication and success of the program.
