What’s Out There® Weekend (WOTW) Chicago will bring to light the local character of the city as reflected by its publicly accessible parks, gardens, plazas, cemeteries, neighborhoods, and historic sites. Settled in the late eighteenth century by Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, a trader of African descent, the city has a rich and significant cultural landscape legacy, shaped by numerous individuals, communities, and practitioners.
Working in collaboration with myriad local partners, The Cultural Landscape Foundation (TCLF) will make visible and instill value in the places that make the region unique and engage the public to promote their sustained stewardship and interpretation. WOTW Chicago will engage a large and diverse audience (typically 1,000+), offering two days of free, expert-led tours, encouraging participants to discover the little-known design history of places they may pass every day.
Event dates and itinerary forthcoming.
