CCIL and the Chicago Public Art Group (CPAG) welcomed board members, young professionals, volunteers and community members to its dedication highlighting the visually stunning mural circling the exterior wall at 2750 W. Roosevelt Road. Heartfelt comments were provided from a variety of speakers including CCIL Executive Director Judy McIntyre, CCIL Board Member Michael Frigo, CPAG Program Manager Brenda Vega, CPAG Artists Damon Lamar Reed and Max Sansing, CCIL residents Johnathan Williams and Kevin Hill. Guests enjoyed delicious refrehsments while mixing and mingling and posing for pictures by the vibrant mural. This bricolage project was a collaboration of CCIL, CPAG, North Lawndale citizens and CCIL residents. Funding was made possible by the Guthman Fund. A very special thank you to Albert Tanquero for his vision and follow through - this beautiful creation wouldn't be possible without his diligence and determination. Please stop by and see the mural for yourself as it truly is a work of art, one to be admired and experienced in person! CCIL is located at 2750 W. Roosevelt Road, Chicago, IL (California/Roosevelt).
