Refrigerators: Not Just For Food
If you thought refrigerators were just for storing food or showing off your kindergartner's fingerpainting masterpiece, think again; for the folks at ComEd, this household appliance is truly a work of art.
Starting Monday, August 2, pedestrians strolling along the Magnificent Mile will get to witness "Fine Art Fridges," an art exhibit that showcases refrigerators that have been recycled and made into art.
The exhibit is in conjunction with ComEd's Appliance Recycling Program, in which old refrigerators or deep freezers, usually extra ones, are removed from customers' homes to promote the use of more energy efficient models. Also, many of the pieces in the exhibit will contain well-known Chicago architecture.
Some of the Michigan Avenue locations for the exhibit include The Omni Hotel, Tiffany's and Grand Lux Café.
