Vivian (Stavroula) Haritos (b. 1980) is a Chicago-based multidisciplinary artist. She loves screenprinting and collage but considers herself a painter.
A first generation Greek American, Haritos examines themes of cultural tradition, assimilation, and the blurred middle. Much like her two first names, her work is an intersection between two different worlds—exploring ideas of home, belonging, pop culture, mythology, and archetypes.
She tries not to take herself too seriously and believes art is for everyone.
Vivian received her Bachelor of Arts in Art History from the University of Illinois at Chicago, and Certificate in Museum Studies from Northwestern University’s School of Continuing Studies.
Most recently she has exhibited in group shows at Chicago Art Department, Art Center Highland Park, and Mana Contemporary Chicago. She served on the 2025 Advisory Committee for Designing a Better Chicago, and was a Visual Arts & Design panelist for the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs & Special Events (DCASE) Individual Artist Program in 2024.
She has worked within arts and educational non-profits for over 20 years.
