Piñatas for the Homeless


Chicago artists released hundreds of paper mache piñatas stuffed with space blankets, created by a local Piñata factory. The display of functional public art created huge attention and awareness to the issue of homelessness and the spaces (in this case highway underpasses) that act as shelters.

Over 100 Chicago area youth and more than 40 community members participated.
