Headquartered in Logan Square's AnyWhere Space Studio at Milwaukee/Belden in Logan Square, AnySquared Projects is an artist collaborative and network. Propelled by a deep sense of cooperation with our neighbors, we produce art events, projects and ongoing activities with the mutual support and participation of area artists and local businesses. With little money and no corporate sponsorship, AnySquared functions on the idea that we can do anything as long as we do it together. |

AnySquared Projects organized, executed, curated, produced and created the 2012 SQUARED! Art+Community art walk. Squared! was a celebration of what happens when a community defines itself by the people who live and work together, rather than by wards and neighborhood names. Squared! featured 130+ artists in a collection of exhibits, open studios, installations, videos, murals, activities, music + more created by and for our community. |

The work AnySquared Members did from 2009–2011 producing the visual art part of the festival earned the 2012 Chicago Reader's Best Public Art Event. 2011 | AnySquared Projects organized, executed, curated, produced, built and created the 2011 Milwaukee Avenue Arts Festival's 30 galleries and visual art offerings, as well as coordinated a community mural painted by Artistic Bombing Crew (ABC) that was unveiled at the fest. In preparation for the 2011 festival, AnySquared Projects organized three excellent benefit events to raise funds specifically for the art galleries and activities. Events included the ART. SWAP. MEET., the Scrabble Showdown, and Share the Square: An Art Preview Benefit. 2010 | AnySquared coordinated and created the MAAF South End Galleries & the Limit Community Mural on Medill as well as organized the 2010 Sneak Preview Art Benefit to support the galleries at Logan Square Kitchen. 2009 | Founders of AnySquared were key organizers and creators of the 2009 MAAF Art Galleries (before the current owners of the festival) as well as designed the logo and festval map.
