For four months (and four months only), Chicago’s Wicker Park & Bucktown neighborhoods are offering a rare glimpse into a future driven by artists.

Come sneak a peek as artists innovate the next stages of industry evolution & take on the role of improving various business sectors through creativity & innovation through the 'Make Believe' initiative.

Using the very spaces rendered vacant by the economic downturn, a carefully hand-selected crop of artistic innovators (deemed "the finalists") will temporarily display their work for the public to view.

Using this site as a portal, the WPB invites your input through the use of an electronic voting system. The best installation, purely determined through public votes, will be awarded with Chicago’s largest art prize to date.

Votes may be entered by navigating to a project in the slideshow above, or from our Finalists page, and entering your email address in the form provided.
