Uptown

You don't have to go to a museum to see art. It's all over Chicago, and that's one of the goals of a new exhibit you might be able to see on your daily commute.

CHICAGO -- You don't have to go to a museum to see art. It's all over Chicago, and that's one of the goals of a new exhibit you might be able to see on your daily commute. CTA commuters in Uptown might get more than just a ride the next time they hop on a bus, they might also meet an unsung hero of the neighborhood, like Terry Abrahamson, who lives in Uptown, and is an expert on Chicago Blues music.

'From the moment I met her, she told me that she had lost her son to gun violence,' Chausette said. 'I really wanted to know what made this person so positive when I heard that she had lost her son.'Chaussette got the idea after seeing photographs displayed in a bus shelter. She went to the company that maintains the city's bus shelters, and got three months of free space. Then she went to the city and got a grant to make it happen.
