Woodlawn Neighborhood

Sitting in the shadow of the University of Chicago, Woodlawn is a unique locality offering culture, history, and housing just off the lakefront. University students and locals explore art galleries, ethnic food, and a walk through Jackson Park which provides some of the most picturesque views the city has to offer. Green Star Movement, a foundation dedicated to uplifting communities through public art, worked with youth from Woodlawn community groups plus hundreds of volunteers from throughout the city to transform the Woodlawn Gateway at 67th Street. The gateway mural incorporates musical imagery that reflects the community's jazz legacy as well as floral motifs that represent the Woodlawn Botanical Garden.
