MEET THE MURALISTS
The walls at The SET Collective speak volumes—thanks to the bold, expressive work of our three resident mural artists. Each creator brings a unique perspective, painting stories that reflect the rhythm, energy, and soul of Chicago’s creative community. From abstract narratives to cultural homages, their work transforms our studios into living art pieces and sets the tone for inspiration the moment you walk in. Come see how their artistry shapes the spirit of The SET.
