A small portion of our 2,000-photo album of the city is now a semi-permanent installation at Coffee Makes You Black, where Teens Grow Greens is holding their first 2022 internship sessions every Saturday. What a great atmosphere--and now even better!

French artist JR's decade-long (so far) global participatory art effort, The Inside Out Project, stops at the Chase Tower at Water and Wisconsin, 111 E. Wisconsin Ave., on Friday, Aug. 27.
