Find Your Way with Matthew Hoffman

November 17, 2017

Matthew Hoffman is a Chicago artist whose work has been showcased across the globe.   Chicagoans, in particular, probably recognize his work from his many “you are beautiful” murals, stickers, and art installations plastered throughout the city and beyond.  When he asked us to help with his new exhibition opening back in September, titled “Find your way,” we were ecstatic.

The event took place at Workshop 4200,  a shared artist workspace housed in the historic Hammond Organ Factory.  The event took place as an open house to show off the renovations headed up by Baum Revision and each artist’s space.   It was awesome to see so much going on and the wide range of artisans who call Workshop 4200 home.  Matt’s work was featured in the main hall of the building.  He also had a popup shop where attendees could buy some of his very popular “you are beautiful” merch.  In the pop-up, guests were able to send off their very own “you are beautiful” postcard to an addressee of their choice, courtesy of Matt and his team.
