Pilsen is known for its Latino culture and vast spread of vibrant murals. It was even named one of the “12 Coolest Neighborhoods Around the World” by Forbes. It’s the perfect neighborhood in Chicago to spend an afternoon with plenty of art to see on both 16th and 18th street, and seemingly everywhere in between. So that’s just what we did - explored the intriguing mural scene and enjoyed the famous authentic tacos.

Below are snapshots from an exploration of 16th and 18th streets in Pilsen:

If you are looking for some creative inspiration and are local to Chicago, we suggest spending some time in Pilsen. They also host a monthly 2nd Fridays Gallery Night, where galleries and studios are open to the public, free of charge.
