Rational Park essentially started in 2007 as a cooperative model for friends running independent creative businesses. After moving from their previous location to the current space in 2010, it has evolved to accommodate the needs of not only of the members, but as a resource for their larger scale projects and for the community as a whole. Those camped at Rational Park are designers, developers, art directors, illustrators, publishers and musicians. The 3000 square foot space was designed so six offices fill the center, and in back is a screen-printing room and workshop. The work area is partitioned by a retractable wall that separates it from the front gallery. 14-foot high ceilings and dropped track lighting offer an inviting blank canvas for installations and events. The 10 foot wide rolled sweep attached to the ceiling provides an excellent resource for photo shoots. The open storefront gallery on North Avenue is a beautiful exhibition resource, a platform for launching ideas, and a host to various installations and projects. Shows are typically curated by Rational Park as an endorsement of exciting and inspiring work. Rational Park is also a place for presentations, surprise parties, classes and meetings, awards ceremonies, dog/cat weddings, focus group jim-jams, yoga videos, balloon interventions and baseball card meet-ups.

Avoid the goose and put your hand in the alligator's mouth.
Painted in 2010 the mural was damaged by some poor weather while drying. The mural is slated to be fixed and completed by the original artists this summer of 2013. There is nothing more pleasing than creating a work of art that can be lived with. Displaying works in a public space is a matter of great honor and duty. It is through thoughtful concept building coupled with care towards the creative process that a wall for the community is formed. Our approach is to transform an artistic opportunity into a visual message that will act as a civic conduit for positive energy. Home, it is the place we come to live and to love. It is where growth and investments flourish. It is where respect and care resides. Be it where we are coming from or where we are aiming to go, the concept of home travels universally for each of us on a personal level. It is ours, it is yours, and it is mine. These familiar sentiments are why we care for our homes. Walls serve the functional purpose of creating shelter. In the same respect, they can be utilized for emotional, aesthetic good. Our mural serves as a visual expansion of the home to include the neighborhood. It raises awareness and is a reminder that our public space is where we live as well. It is a welcome‐mat inviting life, love, growth, investment, respect and care. It’s these characteristics of home that lend themselves towards thriving and prosperous communities. Home... a simple idea really. It is where the heart is.
Celebrating the 100th anniversary of Holstein Park with food trucks, bands, and fun for the whole family on June 30th, 2012.
The Illinois Centennial Memorial Column, also known as the Logan Square Monument, is the proud centerpiece of Chicago's Logan Square community. Built in 1918 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Illinois' statehood, the Monument has become a community gathering space for socializing, recreation and quiet contemplation. Just as the Monument serves as our community town hall, this page is a community forum to discuss issues facing the Monument and the broader Logan Square community.
