The exhibition Exquisite Canvas offers a window into the creative process of public art by inviting visitors to watch three Chicago artists develop original murals throughout the period of exhibition. By witnessing the creative processes of Cecilia Beaven, Miguel A. Del Real, and Anna Murphy in action, visitors will be able to appreciate the creativity, dedication and work that goes into each mural and public artwork. Through observation of and engagement with the artists as they paint, visitors are active participants in the creation of the artistic work.
