Billboard Along Expressway Shares New Artwork Each Month from Local Nonprofits

Local non-profit organizations in Chicago get the ultimate spotlight along the Kennedy Expressway.

Have you ever been driving down the Kennedy Expressway and wondered who was behind the artwork seen on the Wintrust billboard?

“A nonprofit is chosen, and then that nonprofit gets to pick whatever artist they would like to work with,” said Elizabeth Okey, vice president of community impact at Wintrust Bank. “This moment feels so great. Not to just represent Daniel Murphy, but to represent my city, the city that made me, and being able to share my art with hundreds of thousands of people driving,” said Spears, a visual artist. “It’s so rewarding. This is a huge opportunity but I would hope it opens up more doors, not only for my artistry, but for millions of other people that now know who and what Daniel Murphy does.”“We are Chicago’s largest high school scholarship granting organization.

While this mural, like the rest, is only up for a month, Wintrust says they’ve seen the support each organization receives extend beyond the duration of the billboard residency.
