Hope Wang is an artist and creative entrepreneur based in Chicago, IL. In her work, she dwells on what is often already disappearing: the last seconds of the sun setting against a factory wall, the shadow of a locked gate cast by streetlights, or the wavering space between an open storefront and a vacant one. 

Hope is also the founder and co-director of LMRM, a project space that blends art, research, and community programming around digital weaving. She is a recipient of an Artists Run Chicago Grant (2024) from the Hyde Park Art Center, and a Chicago Community Fellowship Fund (2023) from the Breakout Foundation for LMRM’s contributions to the city’s art community. Her artwork has been exhibited throughout the US, which includes the Glass Curtain Gallery at Columbia College Chicago, IL; the Peeler Art Center at DePauw University in Greencastle, IN; The Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum in Milwaukee, WI; amongst others. She was recently named one of Newcity Magazine’s 2025 “Breakout Artists” and is a 2025 recipient of the Re/Match Artist Award.
