Outdoor murals have a long history in Chicago, often reflecting on specific time periods and movements in the communities which they adorn. Join Chicago Collections Consortium ED Jeanne Long in her conversation with Chicago artists Meg Duguid and Bernard Williams as they share the influences, advantages, and challenges that are involved in the creation of murals in our city today.
