MEET MR. CRO

Local Chicago artist Ray Noland, aka CRO, has won national acclaim for his iconic street art. His work has been featured everywhere from West Side underpasses to the collections of both the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian. Before his new show “LET THEM EAT CRO” takes over our offices in October, let’s take a look back
at some of his greatest hits.
