Highwood Mural Tour | Hosted by the Curators - September 19, 2025
4 - 6:30pm
Discover how public art is transforming Highwood into a vibrant, walkable arts destination. Join curators Chris “Koz” Kozloff (artist, filmmaker, and founder of Silvertuna Studios) and Laura “Lulu” Reich (art advisor, curator, and founder of Collect With Lulu) for a guided mural tour celebrating our city’s growing collection of street art.
​
This experience offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the vision behind Highwood’s beautification project, featuring world-renowned graffiti legends and contemporary muralists who’ve helped turn our city into an open-air gallery.
​
Meet the couple who sparked a movement rooted in community, creativity, and connection, and hear the stories behind the murals and the artists who brought them to life.

Following the mural tour at 6:30pm come to our friends at The Merchant for creative cocktails, connection, and conversation at 122 North Ave. The Merchant celebrates Design Week with a nod to art and the role it plays in both residential and commercial design and aesthetics.
We’re proud to be located in a building that features a striking mural by renowned Chicago muralist ASEND. Inside, you’ll also find a piece by local Highwood muralist Eric E. Lee — a reflection of our deep connection to the community’s creative spirit.
