A Chicago Story Returns to Willis Tower
Wacker Lobby
|
In celebration of the Tower’s 50th anniversary, Willis Tower has teamed up with Elevation Worldwide to reprise A Chicago Story, a temporary art installation featuring the works of local artists.
Elevation Worldwide president Gary Green says, “Willis Tower sits at the core of our Chicago skyline, visible citywide. Its symbolism of power, leadership and the ability to rise above is an inspiration felt throughout the culture of our city. That same inspiration can be seen through the eyes and talents of Chicago-based artists articulating their experiences through fine art.”
Keep an eye out for updates to the exhibit!

Floral Arrangement with Nomon Flowers
Our tenant exclusive floral arrangement workshop held on June 8th was a huge hit! Nomon Flowers did an excellent job providing the materials and live instruction for the event, and our friends at Tower House bar created delicious floral inspired cocktails and mocktails for attendees to enjoy.
“I give this event 2 thumbs up; great job planning, setting up, and hosting this event! It was beautiful, and having specially made cocktails that felt flower themed was the extra bonus touch! I felt like I was somewhere in a grassy field picking the best pieces of nature, drinking in the scents, and enjoying the great company of fun people! This event had such a wonderful atmosphere; it felt like a mini-outdoor vacation enjoying an Air B&B.” - Elta Marquez from Willis Towers Watson
Thank you to Nomon Flowers, Tower House, and all the tenants who participated. Keep your eyes peeled and ears open for information about our upcoming tenant events.
