Due to COVID-19, the <a href="https://bucktown.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bucktown Community Organizations</a> (BCO) main fundraising apparatus of local small business sponsorship via the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/bucktowngarden/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bucktown Neighborhood &amp; Garden Walk</a> is not going to happen like in past years; thus, much of our 2020 revenue has disappeared.  In efforts to continue to do our work, we are asking for your donation. With this in mind, in efforts to enhance the Bucktown Green and beautify the neighborhood, the <a href="https://bucktown.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BCO</a> has chosen Bucktowns’ <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sammartsarchitect/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sam Marts</a> to create the mural "Illinois Landscape" to enliven the back wall of the <a href="https://www.chipublib.org/locations/15/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bucktown Wicker Park Library</a>  The implementation method consists of commercial grade printed vinyl strips that are attached to a frame.  This method allows a large mural (estimated at 10’ x 90’) at a fraction of the cost while making the wall easier to maintain vs. painting the brick.  City Council, DCASE, CPL, and Asset Management approved; many eyes are watching to see if this is a future method of beautifying Chicago. The estimated 10’x90’ canvas of "Illinois Landscape" by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sammartsarchitect/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sam Marts</a>  envisions individual corn plants framed in a graphic grid.  Corn has long been a foundation of the Illinois economy and an iconic landscape image of Illinois.  The expressions, “Knee High” by the fourth of July or as “High as an Elephants Eye,” remain measures of the prosperity of our world.   Besides corn being in almost everything we eat, corn is why railroads radiate from Chicago, and corn is why the Board of Trade exists.  The rectangular panels will recall the decorative terracotta tiles that adorned many Chicago buildings while the repetitious, horizontal elements of the mural will complement the building's architecture.  “Illinois Landscape” will tower above a person standing by the mural and relaxing at the Bucktown Green, encouraging one to be a child again, getting lost in a cornfield.

Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me personally and the Bucktown Community.  For more updates, you can always follow our story on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/bucktowncommunityorganization/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">facebook</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bucktowngarden/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">instagram</a> .    ** For those who give $20 or more, you can be a <a href="https://bucktown.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BCO</a>  member, just email <a href="mailto:[email redacted]">[email redacted]</a> with your contact info and we will sign you up ** ** and a very special thank you to SSA#33 for providing support toward the mural **
