We are proud to feature Chicago-based artist Laura Lee Junge as our 2025 Featured Artist.

Laura was also named one of Choose

Chicago’s Artists of the Year for 2025!! A

long time participant in the Wells Street

Art Festival since the 1990s, Laura credits

the festival as a meaningful part of her

journey as an artist. She is also the

co-owner of Jackson Junge Gallery in

Wicker Park. Her piece, “Emerald City,”

painted from North Avenue Beach just

east of Wells Street, is the featured artwork

on our 2025 50th Anniversary Poster.

 



Stop by the Old Town Merchants & Residents Booth (across from 1419 N Wells) to purchase your commemorative poster.
