360 CHICAGO's CloudWalk Call for Artists

360 CHICAGO, the iconic observation deck on the 94th floor of 875 N. Michigan Ave. (the former John Hancock Center), is launching a call for Chicago-based artists to submit installation concepts for CloudWalk, the city’s highest outdoor viewing platform. One artist will be selected by a board of Chicago-based art and community leaders as the inaugural artist to launch CloudWalk as a permanent, rotating art gallery. The top-reviewed proposal will be awarded a $10,000 commission fee, as well as the opportunity to showcase their work to a global audience in the city’s most unique art gallery.

Emerging Chicago-based artists and creatives are invited to submit installation concepts that incorporate Chicago-centric themes, reflecting the spirit of Chicago and their dreams for the future of the city. Artists of all mediums are encouraged to participate, with designs that fully encompass the space and encourage Chicagoans and tourists alike to explore a vibrant fusion of urban art and breathtaking vistas.

All submissions will be reviewed by a board of Chicago-based art and community leaders, including 2nd Ward Alderman Brian Hopkins, Art Institute of Chicago Executive Director of Civic Relations and Partnerships, Nora Gainer, 360 CHICAGO Managing Director Nichole Benolken, Photojournalist Vashon Jordan Jr., and the most recent local artist to exhibit at CloudWalk, Katie Chung, among others.
