Because the ancient Greeks lived close to the sea, fish was an essential food source for centuries—not to mention it remains a healthy food option featured on many restaurant menus in #GreektownChicago! This is one of the many reasons why we selected fish as the theme of our 2020 street art project! We invite you to take a stroll through the neighborhood and soak in the 22 beautiful sculptures on and around Halsted Street. #FunFact

Come to #GreektownChicago and delight in the 22 Artist-painted fish that dot the neighborhood as part of our 2020 Street Art Project. Wonder why they decided on fish? The committee drew inspiration from the fact that many children have a fish for their first pet, making the sculptures more relatable to little ones! #FunFact
