Chicago Voyagers and Highdive
Jul 31 — Aug 10
2025Chicago Voyagers, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering underrepresented youth through outdoor adventure therapy, has partnered with award-winning creative agency Highdive to present The Future Voyagers—a groundbreaking art exhibition that redefines the narrative of American exploration through the eyes of today’s youth. Seven Chicago-based artists were commissioned to create the portraits, each one deeply rooted in the lived experiences and personal journeys of the youth they depict. The result is a body of work that is both celebratory and transformative—symbolizing not just what exploration has been, but what it should be. The exhibit launches Friday, August 8 with a ticketed gala at the Epiphany Center for the Arts in West Town, with public programming running through September 6th. As part of the exhibit’s citywide celebration, AOTM will display The Future Voyagers in large-scale format, illuminating the Chicago Riverwalk in a bold statement of representation and possibility. This marks the first time Chicago Voyagers youth will be featured in this prominent public art installation.
