Our North Garden’s next chapter is here!

On Saturday, we kicked off CircEsteem’s 25th Anniversary Gala by unveiling a space transformed through the creativity, care, and hard work of our community.

From refreshed murals and new plantings to the familiar mosaic tiles that connect us to our history, there’s so much to celebrate. We’re excited for the moments this space will hold for our students, staff, theater guests, and Uptown neighbors.

Special thanks to Paul’s Outdoor Living, our Planting Partner, and City Year Chicago, our Painting and Beautification Partner.

Thank you to mural artists Lavie Raven, James Spurgeon, Sean S, Stef Skills, Justin Grey, and CJ Williams, and to our staff, volunteers, and project leads for bringing this vision to life.

A fresh chapter for our North Garden! Check out this sneak peek!

After 14 years, we’re bringing new life to a beloved space at CircEsteem! Thanks to the dedication and creativity of our community, our North Garden is getting a makeover, and we can’t wait to reveal the transformation at our 25th Anniversary Gala on October 17!

More than just a garden, this space serves many purposes in our community. It’s a welcoming walkway for theater guests and visitors, a place where students can play and practice mindfulness during programs and camp, and a spot where staff can gather, recharge, and connect.

This transformation wouldn’t be possible without the people who have shared their time, talents, and resources to help bring this vision to life.

Special thanks to our partners:
-Paul’s Outdoor Living, our Planting Partner
-City Year, our Painting and Beautification Partner

Special thanks to the artists bringing new life to our garden murals:
Lavie Raven, James Spurgeon, Sean S, Stef Skills, Justin Grey, and CJ Williams.

And a heartfelt thank-you to our CircEsteem staff and volunteers for rolling up their sleeves and helping transform this space for our community.

We’re grateful to everyone helping us create a welcoming, refreshed space for our youth, staff, theater guests, and Uptown neighbors. Stay tuned for the big reveal, or see it for yourself by purchasing a ticket to our gala! Visit the link in our bio or: https://givebutter.com/CircEsteem25thGala
