Chicago muralist Tracy Van Duinen won $100,000 in last year's ArtPrize—and that was for second place
Van Duinen, who now works at Social Justice High School in Little Village, joined the muralists at the nonprofit Chicago Public Art Group at about the same time he went to work for CPS. You can see his artwork on Lake Shore Drive underpasses and throughout the city. Two years ago, his Living 2007, a mosaic mural under the drive at Bryn Mawr, was the Reader's pick for best public artwork. Then last summer, his huge, multipart mural Imagine That won $100,000 in the first annual ArtPrize competition in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Students to Board of Ed: Stop serving us slop
Students stood before the Chicago Board of Education today and excoriated the members on the food served at lunch and cuts to school sports. One by one, they enumerated the "slop" they are served in school cafeterias and implored officials to change the contract guiding food services at the district. Specifically, they lamented the nachos, pizza and burgers offered almost daily. "Access to nutrient-poor, calorie-rich food is the norm," said Brian Damacio, a sophomore at Social Justice High School. "If we're lucky, the cheese looks normal."
