INSIDE DESIGN: Plant-based Pigments & Patterns: A Living Design Practice at Art on the Farm in Grant Park In partnership with designmuseumchi, this immersive experience explores how land, cultivation, and material experimentation inform contemporary design practice. Led by urbangrowerscollective CEO Erika Allen, participants will tour the farm, engage in conversation, and take part in a hands-on demonstration using plant-based pigments and natural materials sourced directly from the land. From agriculture to abstraction, this experience will reveal how plants grown for food can also become tools for expression—offering new perspectives on sourcing, sustainability, and material innovation in the built environment.
