OHC Artist Signing

Meet the artist behind the official OHC 2025 artwork, Ethan D'Ercole. He'll be on site at the CAC to sign OHC merchandise and discuss his artistic process. Ethan D’Ercole graduated in 1996 from Washington University in St. Louis with a major in architecture, but in the years since has pursued a musical career in numerous Chicago based groups. Starting with Xeroxed band fliers, and moving on to screen-printed “gig posters” in 2000, D’Ercole combined his love for music and preoccupation with architecture and urban spaces into a unique visual art form. Each work, like a well-crafted song, conveys a particular mood, or reveals a passing obsession or curiosity. The images, like lyrics set to music, convey a narrative.
