HUMBOLDT PARK EATERY, 2021

ARTIST: ANNE HEISLER CREATIVE DIRECTOR: SAM KIRK

Humboldt Park Eatery, a shared kitchen space located on the edge of Chicago's Humboldt and Garfield Park neighborhoods, commissioned Artist, Anne Heisler to complete this mural to highlight their space. The area is home to a large African American and Puerto Rican community, but also includes mix of other Latinx cultures, and people of different ethnic backgrounds. Anne’s father & grandfather grew up here in the early-mid 1900’s when there were many Eastern European Jewish immigrants. Part of the goal for this mural was to represent a variety of cultures, to appreciate beauty of us all. The background is filled with green leaves in a pattern emanating out from the center in a geometric but natural way, cushioning the people in the background of the park itself.
