A mural for Pride Month 2022 on the Wintrust Bank building along the Kennedy Expressway highlights history and progress.
The mural is a part of an ongoing series by Wintrust where the bank partners with local non-profits to make a statement with art.
"LGBTQ really spans a broad spectrum," said David Ernesto Munar, Howard Brown Health president and CEO."We wanted to celebrate all that diversity in an inclusive piece of artwork." "There are conversations about like, 'Is the world becoming a little gayer?' And I'm like, hmm, no, I don't think it's actually anymore than it used to be," Geary said."It's just people don't harbor shame."
Geary, who identifies as queer, said this is his first piece of work focused on the LGBTQ+ community.
