Join Highwood’s mural curators Laura “Lulu” Reich and CJ “Koz” Kozloff at Station 440 for behind-the-scenes stories, cocktails, rooftop views, and conversation inspired by the creatives whose vision transformed Highwood into a living canvas.

More Than Paint explores the transformative power of art and community. Born from a desire to bring people together through creativity and connection, Highwood’s International Mural Festival and city beautification project reimagined the community through large-scale public art, proving that murals can do more than change a visual landscape — they can uplift, inspire, and unite communities.

The film, shot, edited, and directed by Kozloff, stands as one of the most significant undertakings of his life and career. Guests will enjoy a newly created short version of the full-length documentary while learning about the story and impact of bringing public art to the North Shore amongst friends and neighbors.

Join us as we celebrate the dedication of Highwood's newest public sculpture and another exciting addition to the city's growing collection of public art.

The Highwood Chamber of Commerce invites you to a Ribbon Cutting and Public Sculpture Dedication with Collect with Lulu and Silvertuna Studios, co-curators of Highwood's mural program. Together, they have helped bring creativity and artistic expression to our community, and this new sculpture continues that tradition.

Meet the artist, Chris Rwk, and curators, learn about the inspiration behind the piece. Join us in recognizing the partnerships and vision that continue to make Highwood a destination for public art.

All are welcome to attend this FREE special community celebration.
