About the work

Led by artist and facilitator Sage Lin our next iteration of this popular partnership with Chicago Public School students has expanded to include work not only from high school seniors but also from younger students with their teachers’ collaboration. We again plan to display an equitable range of works from across CPS districts. https://www.cps.edu/sites/cpsarts/student-programs/art-on-themart/

Since 2022, ART on THE MART has partnered with CPS to display selected works from submissions to the All-City High School Visual Arts Exhibition and the Senior Portfolio Showcase. Students’ artwork is selected based on a score given for technical skill, craftsmanship, originality, and artist voice. An original score, composed and produced by CPS students, will accompany the projections.

Stay tuned to see the selections for 2026. Check out our CPS partnerships from 2022, 2023, and 2024, plus our 2021 collaboration with the local organization After School Matters.
