Wabash Arts Corridor

Surrounding Hilton Chicago is the Wabash Arts Corridor, regarded as a “living urban canvas” due to its ever growing number of large-scale mural installations and collaborative projects.  Feel inspired as you walk the neighborhood to take in the art, some of which adorns the Hilton Chicago on the west side of the building, featuring large scale images captured by Columbia College students photographing within the hotel…a must see!
