Art on theMart on Facebook Live

The massive Merchandise Mart (today known as theMart) is the "Queen of the Chicago River" and one of the largest buildings in the United States in terms of square footage. The enormous, 2.5-acre facade along the river is the world's largest digital canvass for artists to use in a rotating mix of projected creations that also include musical accompaniments. Currently "Chicago Black Dance Legacy" and "Gensler: Building Light" are the Art on theMart featured installations. During this live-streamed experience, I will provide additional details on these artists and share stories about theMart, a magnificent, Art Deco masterpiece.

All of this and so much more will be featured on this upcoming virtual tour on Facebook Live. Throughout this interactive experience, I will be reacting to your comments and answering your questions as we're together watching Art on theMart. There is no charge for the live-streamed tour, but tips are appreciated and you can see the variety of ways to send them here.

Register for this virtual event for free here and then log into Facebook at the start time to watch the live-stream. Make sure you follow Tours With Mike on Facebook to stay informed of all future virtual tours. I hope to see you on this one!
