Friends of the Parks blasted the Bears' stadium plan on Wednesday afternoon, saying, "The 'Chicago Way' was on full display" at their news conference to announce the project. The nonprofit group Friends of the Parks also has opposed building a new Bears stadium on the lakefront, citing the city's Lakefront Protection Ordinance, which prohibits further private development east of DuSable Lake Shore Drive. A spokesperson for Welch said the speaker was encouraged by the private funding the Bears have proposed for their stadium plan, but also seemed skeptical of approving public financing.

After a federal judge delivered an early victory to Friends of the Parks in their lawsuit, Lucas decided to build his museum in Los Angeles instead. "This is one of the biggest private investments into a public-owned facility in the state's history," said Karen Murphy, executive vice president of stadium development for the Bears. The project also would create new retail and hospitality offerings around the new stadium, while improving public access to the surrounding lakefront, according to Warren.

"Having said that, I think all of us want success for the state. We want more commerce. We want more jobs. We want our teams to be successful. So, you know, we share all of that in common, but we've got to use our dollars wisely." City officials said they would seek to tap possible federal funding for the infrastructure work, and would work with state and city leaders to identify other possible funding sources. That funding plan would require approval from the Illinois General Assembly, but both Gov. JB Pritzker and top legislative leaders have said they're not yet on board. Renderings show the north end of the stadium would have a glass or plastic wall providing a view of the Chicago skyline and lakefront.
Time Out says
It shuts down when new exhibitions are being installed, so call ahead first. “The national and international focus of the sports world on Thursday night is going to be on the NFL draft and, in particular, the No. 1 draft pick — and the Bears own the No. 1 pick. By announcing the stadium plan the day before, it will get a tremendous amount of attention locally and also nationally and internationally,” Ganis said. Sources said the Bears and Sox plan to join forces and seek immediate approval of their ambitious stadium plans during the spring legislative session. Murphy said the Bears’ new financing plan assumes more “conservative hotel tax growth” and “protects the city from unexpected drops” in hotel revenue.

Chicagoland, specifically and proudly, hosts one of the largest and most diverse urban Native communities in the U.S. The Next Voices Embodied ExhibitionJoin us staring in July for the next Voices Embodied exhibition, in partnership with the School of the Art Institute of Chicago Wellness Center, highlighting a relationship between disability and community. Data shows spring average temperatures in Chicago are up more than one and a half degrees, which doesn’t seem like much, but it translates to a growing season and allergy season that lasts about two weeks longer and starts earlier. For decades now, Ward has been one of many people behind the scenes who work to get visitors to become more science literate, especially about things like climate change. Outside, Warren said, the team envisions developing a “promenade plaza” with food and beverage options, public restrooms, a sports and cultural museum, and ice skating in winter.

Facility frequently collaborates with Schurz High School, which is located right across the street. In 2021, Hyde Park Art Center continues to be a hub for local artists. The center offers exhibitions, artists talks, classes, professional development opportunities, and residency programs. Their commitment to Chicago is evident in both the artists they feature—the recent exhibition Artists Run Chicago 2.0 celebrated the work of 50 artist-run spaces and organizations that fuel the city’s independent art scene—and in how they strive to keep their doors open to all residents. When the pandemic forced them to move their programming online this past spring, Hyde Park Art Center made all of their spring programs a contribute-what-you-can fee model.

These talented designers and artists were commissioned to make posters about Lake Michigan. This small industrial space in the Block 37 mall puts on nifty free exhibitions about contemporary and historical design. The shows change every four months, so you'll see something new each time you visit.
We are also available for virtual engagements on a limited basis and can provide more information upon request. While you’re here, be sure to make time to visit the Chicago Cultural Center and Millennium Park, which are directly across the street and also free and open to the public. This land was forcibly purchased after more than two years of open warfare that built on decades of violent encroachment, and after the defeat of a pan-Indian movement to keep settlers out of the Great Lakes region at the Treaty of Chicago in 1821. Today, Illinois is still home to more than 75,000 tribal members, including Ho-Chunk, Miami, Inoka, Menominee, Sac, Fox, and their descendants.
As a result, visitors are greeted with a new, unexpected experience every visit, and are inspired to see the exceptional within the simple. The museum is committed to creative solutions that elevate humble materials. A local, non-profit cultural institution, Design Museum of Chicago strives to meet people where they are, facilitating conversations around design comprised of a variety of voices, backgrounds, and viewpoints. We value our position as a volunteer- and community-based organization and strive to make our space as accessible to those who wish to contribute to our culture of collaboration as it is to visitors.
That’s just part of what made the deal so attractive to City Hall, according to Jill Jaworski, the city’s chief financial officer. Even with the $2 billion contribution from the Bears, a $900 million funding gap would still need to be filled just to build and finance the stadium designed by David Manica, architect of Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Of the estimated $4.7 billion for the entire project, $3.22 billion is for the stadium alone. According to the team, the infrastructure work could be done in phases, though about $325 million would be required to make sure the stadium can open, bringing the minimum cost of opening the new facility to $3.5 billion. In 2016, the Friends of the Parks went to court to block filmmaker George Lucas' plan to build a museum on the same site the Bears are now targeting for a new stadium.
East Garfield Park is a primarily Black, working-class neighborhood, and because of its low rents many artists have begun to move there. Soto and Sullivan see The Franklin as a way for artists to engage with East Garfield Park residents and build community. As a result, they’ve created a unique space that doesn’t exist within the typical confines of the art world. But there are countless institutions dotting the 230 square miles that make up the city. Housed in old manufacturing buildings and army warehouses, converted boarding houses and backyards, these centers of art and culture enrich the lives of all Chicagoans. They’re rooted in the city’s neighborhoods and serve local communities.
Ultimately we had to make tough decisions to ensure that the final product was focused, memorable and accurately represented our mission. It was a challenging but rewarding process, and I’m thrilled with the result. We recognize that Indigenous peoples — who lived here long before Chicago was a city and are still thriving here to this day — are the rightful and traditional stewards of this land. Operating within this context, we strive to create scholarship and programs that right the historic wrongs of state violence and colonization, and better support the struggles of our Indigenous community members as they continue to fight for sovereignty and self-determination.
This, combined with Jamie’s co-founder Steven Ryan’s collaborative design prowess, resulted in a memorable and meaningful visual identity that fully embodies DMoC. The building itself is located in Chicago’s Irving Park neighborhood and stretches across an entire city block. Though Cave’s artwork has an international audience, Facility is deeply rooted in the local community. And so the whole idea is to use this space as a place of opportunity to these people that you see that are extraordinary that haven’t had the break,” Faust said.
We believe design has the fundamental capacity to improve the human condition, and strive to make it accessible to everyone through free exhibitions in a public space in the Chicago Loop. We believe that design is not just a single discipline or process, but rather a persistent element present in our everyday environments and experiences. The Design Museum of Chicago occupies the ground floor gallery space of the Expo 72 building, originally home to Michigan Avenue Bank before being acquired by the city of Chicago. The three story brick-and-glass building's diagonal glass walls draw visitors in to explore rotating exhibits. Other features include herringbone patterned brick floors, brickwork and art installations in the old bank vault in the back of the space. We are told that a new domed stadium on protected lakefront land will make Chicago a great city.
