In 2017, Live Art International hired Pochis Bank Art Studio to create a Chicago-themed chalk mural live during 360 Destination Group‘s Back to School event at the Fairmont Millennium Park. The studio provided our nostalgia-inducing, mobile standing chalkboard for the event and studio artists spent several hours interacting with guests and chalking the lakefront scene. This illustration depicted the skyline both during the day and night with bold colors highlighting Chicago landmarks.
This original event was such a success that in 2018, Pochis Bank Art Studio returned once more to the Fairmont Hotel to create a unique, live chalk mural at a late-night party. Live Art International reached out to the studio again for a Chicago-themed mural, but this time the event was for Enterprise Holdings, a private holding company headquartered in the suburbs of St. Louis. For this event, studio artists chalked another brightly colored Chicago scene. This year, however, the studio impressed partygoers with a design that included a CTA train in front of the skyline.
