As part of the O’Hare International Airport Terminal 5 Expansion Project, the City of Chicago's Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE) and the Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) are commissioning the largest single acquisition of works by Chicago artists by the City in the last 30 years.

This $3.5 million project presents a unique opportunity to invest in Chicago artists and creative professionals while providing international visitors a dynamic and welcoming first impression of our city.

Nineteen commissions featuring more than 20 artists are planned across three critical sites:
