Located in Chicago’s Fulton Market District, Soho House Chicago has become a beacon for artistic expression through its Graffiti on Green mural series. Curated by Threadless’s own Lance Curran for over a decade, these monthly murals transform the building’s exterior into a dynamic canvas that celebrates the diverse talents of artists from around the city and beyond. Having previously featured the Soho House murals back in 2017, we’re excited to revisit this vibrant project and showcase the 10 most recent murals that have captivated the neighborhood, each one a testament to the unique vision of its creator.
