LET THEM EAT CRO - A Political Art Campaign
Creative agency EURO RSCG CHICAGO will open its downtown offices this October for a unique artistic partnership. As part of Chicago Artists Month, rising Chicago artist Ray Noland, aka CRO, will be displaying his newest work in the agency’s lobby.
Open to the public and titled “LET THEM EAT CRO,” the politically charged exhibit will literally takeover EURO, expanding beyond the lobby’s gallery into full-scale wraps of the agency’s 2-story windows visible from the street. Building on his iconic street art, including 2008’s “Go Tell Mama” art campaign, 2009’s “Run, Blago, Run” stencil campaign, and his celebrated covers for the Chicago Reader, CRO’s latest work is a no-holds-barred, non-partisan indictment of the broken political system.
Opening Reception
October 7th, 2011, 6-9PM
Gallery hours: 10-4pm October 8th & 9th
Show continues through October 28th,

Install at p4f complete! I dunno what to do with myself… eat or sleep. What a day! Included being at Home Depot at 6am renting a van, getting a flat tire parked in the lawn of Union Park, had said van towed, forgot car keys in towed truck and had to track them down, all while installing this beast in 87 degree heat. Thanks to Greg for coming through yesterday with some last minute detail work and Mike for being a soldier today at 7am.
Abraham Ritchie, Senior City Editor of ArtSlant in Chicago sends a shout out to Ray Noland’s Run, Blago, Run campaign on WBEZ’s 848 this morning. Thanks to everyone who participated in the project. Listen here.
