Art Walks Chicago was originally a street performance art duo formed in 2004 by Anni Holm & Nyok-Mei Wong with the mission to bring art to the people of Chicago, (- as well as the rest of the World via the World Wide Web), rather than expecting people to seek the art. Over the years several other Chicago artists have joined in and performed for Art Walks Chicago.

Art Walks Chicago is part of Chicago Artists Month 2007, the twelfth annual celebration of Chicago’s vibrant visual art community. In October, 260 exhibitions of emerging and established artists, openings, demonstrations, tours, open studios and neighborhood art walks take place at galleries, cultural centers and arts buildings throughout the city.
