Group Tix & Tours launched our very first Evanston Mural Tour with our friends from Hanover Township's senior group—and what an incredible day it was!
Not only did our guests discover Evanston's vibrant collection of stunning murals, but they also had the rare opportunity to meet not one, not two, not three, but FOUR local muralists! Each artist shared their creative process, the stories behind their work, and how they transform ideas and messages into breathtaking public art.
The highlights were endless!
Our day began with a visit to Brush Hour, where we met acclaimed muralist Tarence Jones as he was actively painting a brand-new mural. Guests also learned about Brush Hour's unique paint, sip, and vibe experience, where custom canvases are created from your own photos.
Lunch was at ZENTLI, where owner and local muralist Alfonso Piloto Nieves Ruiz shared his inspiring journey and spoke about the power of art as a tool for self-expression, communication, and transformation. Dining at ZENTLI felt like eating inside an art gallery, as Alfonso created every piece of artwork displayed throughout the restaurant. We were also fortunate to see two of his incredible murals during the tour.
To top off an already unforgettable day, muralist Teresa Parod met our group and personally guided us through an alley she has transformed with multiple beautifully painted garage doors. Hearing the stories behind her work while standing in the space she created was the perfect ending to a truly memorable experience.
This tour is so much more than a mural walk—it's an opportunity to connect with the artists, hear the stories behind the art, and experience Evanston through the eyes of the talented people who help make it so colorful and inspiring.
Interested in bringing your group? We'd love to share this one-of-a-kind experience with you!
