Rapt on The Mile is designed to act as a multi-story beacon inviting Chicagoans and visitors from around the world to enjoy all that iconic Michigan Avenue has to offer. It was created from a single source photo from Nick Cave’s iconic soundsuit series applied to the building via a heat applied building wrap. Rapt is presented by The Magnificent Mile Association and EXPO Chicago in partnership with the City of Chicago, World Business Chicago, Choose Chicago, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago.
