theMART with the City of Chicago, announced September 29, 2018 as the date for the inaugural program of Art on theMART, featuring work by four renowned contemporary artists, to be announced at a later date. The first-of-its-kind for Chicago, this curated series of digital artworks will be projected across 2.5 acres of theMART’s exterior river-façade, creating the longest-running and largest digital art projection in the world. On September 29th, theMART and the City of Chicago will welcome the public to experience Art on theMART for the first time. Beginning at approximately 6:30 p.m., Wacker Dr. between N. Wells St. and N. Orleans St. will be closed off to traffic to enable public viewing of the projections. The program will begin after dusk (around 7:15 p.m.), running for approximately 35 minutes and culminating in a one-minute pyrotechnic display. Following the launch event, the projections will be displayed up to two hours a night, five days a week (Wednesday – Sunday), for ten months of the year (March – December). Projections will be visible to the public from Wacker Dr. and along the Chicago Riverwalk. The City of Chicago and theMART will work in partnership to manage and curate the projected artwork over the course of a 30-year agreement. Obscura Digital, notable for its large-scale architectural projection mapping on iconic buildings around the world, has partnered with theMart owner Vornado Realty Trust and architecture firm Valerio Dewalt Train Associates, Inc. to design and implement the projection system which will illuminate theMART with large-scale visual artistry on a nightly basis.
