P.A.R.T.Y - Phase 1 event - Austin
Invest South/West Neighborhoods
Invest South/West
Public Art Vision
At the outset of the INVEST South/West initiative,
The Department of Planning and Development
(DPD) and the Department of Transportation (CDOT)
identified priority investment corridors in each
neighborhood for significant streetscape and public
realm enhancements, including new roadways,
sidewalks, light poles, bike lanes, landscaping
and community plazas. In order to align public art
investment with CDOT corridor renovation projects
and DPD investment strategies, Chicago Department
of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE),
initiated an artist-led public engagement campaign,
titled P.A.R.T.Y. (Public Art Reimagining Tour with
You) to inform a Public Art Vision for each of the ten
INVEST South/West neighborhoods.
The first phase of the P.A.R.T.Y. campaign was
carried out over the Summer and Fall of 2022 and
focused on four neighborhoods: Auburn Gresham,
Austin, Bronzeville and Englewood. The artist-
led engagement teams organized and carried
out a sequence of four public events in each
neighborhood, ranging from neighborhood walks,
event pop-ups and focus groups.
Developed in collaboration with residents, community leaders and stakeholders, the plan aims to widen the discussion regarding the role of public art in the city and is guided by the following principles: Improve Neighborhood Life and Safety; Support Economic Development; Create Cultural Destinations; Reflect Inclusive Processes.
