A predominantly Mexican neighborhood in Chicago’s West Side, Pilsen hosts an incredible range of public artworks. Following the train tracks along 16th Street, we came upon Mexican-themed murals alongside dozens of pieces by graffiti writers and street artists. Here are a few more images from this outdoor gallery, an initiative of the Chicago Urban Art Society:

Nice article. The mural that was credited to Rubin Aguirre was also created in collaboration with neighborhood artist Miguel A. Del Real. It was a collaboration piece they created together. If you guys can make the corrections.
