About this Event
Through Our Eyes Youth Art Exhibition + Celebration
Through Our Eyes: Youth Art Exhibition + Celebration is a community-centered exhibition presented by The Children’s Gallery Chicago x SZNL Chicago, celebrating artwork created by young artists from TCGC’s free West Side summer art camp across North Lawndale, Garfield Park, Humboldt Park, and Pilsen.
The exhibition will feature youth-created paintings, drawings, sculpture, mixed media, writing, zines, and reflections rooted in identity, imagination, neighborhood, belonging, and possibility. This is a non-juried youth exhibition, meaning young artists are not competing for visibility; they are being invited into it.
Join us for the opening celebration on Saturday, September 26, 2026, from 2:00–6:00 PM at SZNL Chicago Art Gallery in Pilsen. Families, friends, community leaders, artists, neighbors, sponsors, and supporters are invited to gather around the work of young people and celebrate their creativity in a professional gallery setting.
Come experience the worlds our young artists have made and help us honor their voices, stories, and visions for the city.
Young artists made their world.
Now we’re inviting the community inside.
