Artist Spotlight
Brandon Breaux
Artist/ Graphic Designer
We are committed to uplifting the creatives that drive change in our city. So, when it came time to choose an artist to design our new logo, we knew that they had to be a creator of culture and a leader in our communities. We also knew that we wanted someone that truly represents Chicago. Who better to take on that task than Brandon Breaux? Brandon is the perfect representation of the power art can have on our neighborhoods. Widely known as the artist behind all 3 of Chance the Rapper’s iconic album covers, Brandon continues to meet the demands of the evolving market by having a good understanding of what inspires an audience and what moves the culture. Our new logo was specifically inspired by his ‘Our Chicago’ project exhibited at the Bud Light 1 Day Art Show.
