Holding the title of the largest permanent digital art projection in the world, ART on theMART attracts thousands to the Riverwalk every week by firing up 34 digital projectors and transforming the 2.5-acre river-façade into stunning visual spectacles.
With spring, summer, and fall programs providing various different projections throughout the year the Merchandise Mart also embraces the most important days in the calendar with unique temporary displays.
Tonight, and every night this week, the iconic building will be turning red, white, and blue to celebrate Independence Day.
“This special display illuminates our 2.5-acre facade in red, white, and blue alongside a curated soundtrack featuring classic American jazz, bandstand hits, and marches” reads the ART on THE MART announcement.
The Independence Day projections will take place at 9 p.m. every night from tonight, July 1st, through to Sunday, July 7th.
Spectators can watch the free projections from the jetty section of the Chicago Riverwalk on Wacker Drive between Wells Street and Franklin Street.
