Public art continues to shape the cultural landscape of Highwood with the unveiling of “For giving”, a new sculpture by internationally recognized artist Chris RWK. The sculpture will be unveiled on June 10, 2026 at 5:30pm at the mural park at 341 Waukegan Avenue, Highwood, followed by a solo exhibition “I Left My Heart in Illinois” by NY&nbsp;artist Chris RWK opening on June 11, 2026 from 6-9pm at 524 Sheridan Road, Highwood. 
 Created in 2025, “For giving” is a mixed media sculpture that embodies the transformative power of human connection. Featuring RWK’s iconic robot figure holding a heart, the work reflects both the act of offering love and the openness required to receive it. The sculpture invites viewers into an ongoing emotional exchange—each passerby becomes part of the narrative, taking with them a piece of the message while leaving behind their own imprint for others.
 Rooted in accessibility and emotional resonance, RWK’s work bridges street art and contemporary sculpture, bringing deeply relatable themes into public space. “For giving” continues this legacy, transforming everyday environments into sites of reflection, empathy, and shared experience.&nbsp; 
 The project is curated by <a href="https://silvertunastudios.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Silvertuna Studios</a> and <a href="https://collectwithlulu.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Collect With Lulu</a>, continuing their shared mission of connecting artists, communities, and meaningful storytelling through public art and exhibition. This event marks the two year anniversary since they partnered with the City of Highwood on the beautification project creating 15 murals, and now one special public sculpture.&nbsp; Join us to welcome our talented artist, view a meaningful collection of of works, and enjoy local wine from our friends at <a href="https://www.lynfredwinery.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Lynfred Winery</a>.
 ABOUT CHRIS RWK: Chris RWK is a New York City–based visual artist whose work bridges street art, pop culture, and introspective storytelling. From an early age, he absorbed the imagery of comic books, sci-fi, film, television, and music, storing those visual impulses in what he describes as his “mental journal.” Those collected images now act as fuel for a visual lexicon built around his signature robot icon.
 As a child of the late ’70s and ’80s, Chris’s earliest sketches emulated cartoons and comic strips; by his early teens, he was tagging walls around Staten Island and photographing graffiti outside his door. Over time, letters gave way to characters — the robot figure came to symbolize emotional states, resilience, vulnerability, and the tension between machine and humanity.
 The name Robots Will Kill was coined during a residency in Vermont in 1999. The phrase crystallized an idea: repetition can numb you, turning once-vibrant acts into mechanical ritual. Chris adopted the name publicly in 2001, launching RobotsWillKill.com as an open platform for creators overlooked by traditional galleries and institutions. “You wouldn’t give us space, so we built one,” he later reflected. Over time the site evolved into a collective, uniting artists across the globe who shared a DIY, emotionally resonant approach.
 Above all, Chris remains committed to the idea that art is for everybody. Through RWK he advocates for recognition of underrepresented artists, pushes back on exploitative “exposure” deals, and insists that artists know their value.
 He is active in exhibition circuits — both solo and group — with galleries like Harman Projects, SUYE, and Silvertuna Studios. He is also one of the primary artists at the Freedom Tower in New York.&nbsp; Chris is proud to be part of the Highwood city beautification project with a mural and now a sculpture in the heart of the city. 
Event Details: Sculpture Dedication: June 10, 2026 at 5:30pm at 341 Waukegan Road, Highwood, IL 60040
 Exhibition Opening Reception: June 11, 2026 from 6-9pm Collect With Lulu &amp; Silvertuna Studios 524 Sheridan Road, Highwood, IL 60040
