The Trust for Public Land's "Above the Rails" Gala
Chicago celebrated the opening of the 606, a public, elevated trail along a former railway, with a gala June 5 that paid homage to the host city. Artist Shala created a piece of original artwork at the event, which sold for $8,000 at the live auction. The artist encouraged guests to participate in the creation of the piece by having them sign their names on it.
