Description: Our 2018 mural showcased at Audubon Elementary school combines images of architecture from ancient cultures with scenes from beyond the stratosphere in outer space.
In 2017, paying homage to their neighborhood and city, the students of Audubon Elementary in Roscoe Village incorporated the names of main streets near their school and elements of the Chicago flag into their mural. In 2020, our second outdoor mural at Audubon was installed recently. This design illustrates important icons found in the US by including the Statue of Liberty, Route 66, Mount Rushmore, Grand Canyon and a map of the country.
