Cynthia Noble by Olga Nabatova

Executive Director of Art ontheMart

WORDS BY NAVYA POTHAMSETTY | TORONTO | VISUAL ARTS

MAR 03, 2023 | ISSUE 10

A literal light at the end of the tunnel—that is at least one way you could describe what Art on theMart has been for Chicago’s arts community. It’s the largest permanent digital installation in the world, and has provided a sense of normalcy to Chicagoans in search of socially distant artistic experiences. Situated in the heart of the city, it casts 2.5 acres worth of digital projections onto the facade of a building, featuring different types of art from a wide variety of artists and organizations. They even helped the class of 2020 and 2021 celebrate their graduation, at a time when so many were disappointed to miss out on that milestone. Cynthia Noble, Executive Director of Art on theMart, speaks with smART about their curatorial process, their constant support to the community, and what their productions have meant to the people of Chicago.
