Join us to celebrate the Overton Exchange POP! (Public Outdoor Plaza)!

Monday, July 29, 2024, 11am-2pm
Overton Center for Excellence
4927 S Indiana Ave

The Overton Exchange Plaza is part of the City of Chicago’s Public Outdoor Plaza (POP!) program, which is designed to create strategic community gathering spaces that serve as destination points for local residents and neighborhood visitors.  

Overton POP builds on the work of Creative Grounds, an initiative stewarded by Borderless Studio since 2017 in collaboration with the Washington Park Development Group, invested in creative engagement to keep former Anthony Overton School (closed in 2023) connected with the community while it undergoes redevelopment into the Overton Center for Excellence.
