The Simple Good presents "City of Big Dreams" - An original multidisciplinary art composition and collaborative showcase uniting five different mediums of art under a single inspiration - "the simple good of Chicago."
Through the evening, we celebrate not only the talented local artists Chicago holds, but also the rebirth and transformation of the city which encompasses the good that surrounds us. Through a curated selection of street artists, poets, musicians and dancers, we demonstrate the strength and inspiration that has begun to transform "The City of Big Shoulders" to a "City with Big Dreams."
We are excited to have Chicago's very own poet and author, Kevin Coval, alongside 15+ artists across all mediums of art from across the country be a part of this amazing showcase! Stay tuned for features on all of our incredible artists sharing their art and meaning of 'the simple good.'
