Factory Fridays: Murals and Music

Hale Street, Downtown Wheaton 198-114 N Hale St., Wheaton, IL

This summer, enjoy three "Factory Fridays" on Hale Street featuring live mural painting and live music. Each Factory Friday features a different professional artist painting one panel of a Warhol-inspired mural in their own style. The three panels will come together creating a brand-new work!  The Factory was Andy Warhol’s NYC studio where his art came to life—and it quickly became a creative meeting place for artists and musicians to collaborate. Enjoy dining under the Innovator Hale Street Tents during this event—reservations recommended. Encore! Come back and enjoy the other two Factory Fridays: July 7 and August 4. Read more about...
