River North’s Artistic Pulse

When you glance out your window at ACME, there’s a good chance you’ll spot our Bare Painted Ladies installation - eye-catching works that fuse raw industrial vibes with bursts of color. We teamed up with local artists, giving them free rein to transform mannequins using paint and pure imagination. Their creativity turns our urban view into an unexpected celebration of local art.

At ACME, you’re greeted by our vibrant lobby mural—a one-of-a-kind work by Nashville artist Brian Tull, commissioned through Curly Tale Fine Art right here in Chicago. Brian likes to “manipulate paint to dictate his story and capture an era when things seemed simple, more genuine, and honest.” His goal? To spark a memory or feeling the moment, you walk in. We love that your ACME experience begins with Brian’s unique vision. Fun fact: our own Berkshire Room recently became the backdrop for another of his commissioned pieces—stay tuned for the reveal!

Renowned for his art, Chicago graffiti artist AMUSE has transformed once normal spaces into showcases of art and beauty, creating a perfect home for our Bare Flying Ladies. His signature style brightens up our space - and you can spot AMUSE’s graffiti masterpieces murals all across Chicago.
