About the program
The Columbia College Chicago Wabash Arts Corridor (WAC) is Chicago’s living urban canvas in the heart of the South Loop neighborhood. Founded by Columbia College Chicago in 2013, WAC has grown to be one of the most expansive, diverse, and accessible public art programs in the country.
In just a few years, WAC has connected students, artists, curators, academic institutions, cultural organizations, and local businesses with educational and cultural programming for the visual, performing and media arts. Artists and curators from five continents have left their mark on WAC with murals, performance, installations, actions, and large-scale projections that are always free and open to the public. The Wabash Arts Corridor has emerged as a key player in the city with hundreds of thousands of visitors each year and receiving press from all over the globe.
