Art & Themes Through the Years

The Chicago Public Library Foundation partners with design agency FCB Chicago to create the theme and visual identity for the annual Chicago Public Library Foundation Awards. Each year, the event features a fresh concept that celebrates the honorees and inspires the community to champion their library. Our collaboration with FCB also includes the design of special initiatives such as the 81 Club and Live from the Library.
