#OpenBoulevards is a series of street activations that transform Chicago’s historic boulevards into open community spaces for residents to walk, bike, scooter, socialize, and enjoy food, & activities from local community partners.
Come on out to #OpenBoulevards this Sunday, October 16th in North Lawndale! Douglas Blvd will be closed to cars and open to people between Central Park to Independence & 13th.
The sites are connected by this beautiful map, which will be installed at at each location in the coming weeks
It’s been a fun project to work on, and we hope folks take the opportunity to check out the sites and see North Lawndale in action!
Also at each of these spaces is a bike rack, funded by SPIN. Both the whirligigs and bike racks include Adinkra symbols, which were chosen during our initial community planning discussions about how to connect Lawndale’s gardens & shipping containers together
Love Blooms Here Plaza (our home location), Stone Temple Peace Garden (across the boulevard) and six other gardens in North Lawndale had whirligigs installed this week! Learn more at Farm on Ogden on Saturday and Stone Temple on Sunday during #OpenHouseChicago
On Sun, Oct 16, Journey Chicago continues in Lawndale for "We Walk: A Celebration of Black Community," the outdoor, traveling festival of art, performance, and empowerment co-hosted by @hamoc1804 and Crossing Borders Music.
