This mural, finished in 1989, was painted on a 450-foot plywood
wall erected temporarily in Grant Park, as the debut project of the still-operative
Gallery 37, an annual summer arts program for inner city youth.
Haring collaborated on the mural with 500 public school children,
and the individual panels were donated to and divided among the participating
schools.
In the summer of 2000, Gallery 37 undertook the restoration
of a large number of the panels, for eventual permanent display in a public
site in Chicago.
