Celebrating small businesses in Chicago, local artist Anthony Lewellen partnered with The Hartford to create a Mural in the West Loop neighborhood.

Illinois

“Being born and raised here has given me an interesting perspective on how the city has grown and evolved over the years. Chicago really is a city of neighborhoods and the West Loop where I’m painting has really become a worthwhile destination with a really unique energy, great for walking and exploring.”

- Anthony Lewellen, Mural Artist

THINGS TO DO

Chicago Truborn

“A gallery in West Town with a substantial catalog of work by regional graffiti and street artists with an emphasis on making art accessible to everyone and having original artwork at all price points.”

PLACES TO EAT

D’amato’s Bakery & Subs

“One of my favorites, just a short walk from my mural. It’s a super old school family-run Italian bakery serving up all kinds of freshly baked offerings from a coal-burning oven. They make excellent subs. "The Italian" is my personal favorite.”

PLACES TO EAT

El Taco Veloz

“A great Taco spot right next door Chicago Truborn. I have to stop at every time I’m in the area.”

River Otter Chicago

“A small furniture boutique that has a well-curated selection of really interesting and unique mid-century modern pieces.”
