How does Chicago as a city create its own cultural landscape? Ground Floor artists Assaf Evron, Esau McGhee, Ben Murray, and Julie Weber discuss how Chicago has influenced the evolution of their work.

Some factors this panel will consider on what makes a thriving cultural landscape include natural environment, school networks, living cost, personal relationships, and more.

As a graduate from a Chicago school and a participant in the cultural landscape of Chicago, each artist will discuss the impact (if any) that the city has made on their practice.

This talk will be moderated by Samantha Reynolds, Curatorial Fellow at Hyde Park Art Center.
