Special Thanks

The Go Green Griot Plaza was made possible by the City of Chicago Department of Planning and Development and the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, and with the generous support of The Richard H. Driehaus Foundation. This space was also funded by the American Rescue Plan Act, a part of Mayor Brandon Johnson’s Road to Recovery Plan.

About the Go Green Griot Plaza

The Go Green Griot Plaza is an outdoor community arts and organizing hub connected to the Go Green Community Fresh Market in Englewood. Alongside helping to create vibrancy and vitality on the important 63rd and Racine node and to drive interest in and traffic to the Market, the Plaza will host artistic performances, health workshops, vendor pop-ups, community forums, cooking demonstrations, and be a space for community cook-outs, art projects and open-mics. The Plaza is the latest in the series of City of Chicago-supported POP Court venues opening up on once-vacant and abandoned land, and will mark an important milestone in the effort to draw attention and further investment into critical projects like the reopening of the Racine Green Line Station and the Granville T. Woods Regenerator project on the same intersection. The Plaza commemorates the legacy of the griot--the West African storytellers revered for preserving the legacy of their communities--and pays tribute to the power of story to connect, inspire, and drive our collective efforts forward.
