Chicago Public Schools Class of ’23

ART on THE MART, the largest digital art projection in the world, displayed across 2.5 acres of the iconic MART building in Chicago, continues its ongoing collaboration with Chicago Public Schools in a new projection for 2023, titled Select Works from the Class of 2023. 

The featured student artworks include: 

• Dancing by Madison Rozwat | Whitney M. Young Magnet High School
• King’s Domain by Giselle Raigosa | Lincoln Park High School
• Mxmtoon by Anahi Alcala | Steinmetz College Prep
• It’s My Birthday and I’ll Cry if I Want to by Kayla Aguilar | Lake View High School
• Through The Fro by Grace Hutchinson | Friedrich Von Steuben Metropolitan Science Center
• In Her Eyes by Noel Rosania | Walter Payton College Prep
• Untitled by Jose Guzman | Alcott College Prep

The projection is accompanied by a student-produced musical score entitled Let’s Go Home – produced by the students of the All-City Performing Arts Music & Media Ensemble.

The artwork for the projection was collected in conjunction with CPS’s All-City Visual Arts program. Following a selection process led by CPS, seven seniors who submitted to the All-City High School Visual Arts Exhibition were selected to have their work featured on the façade of THE MART. Students’ artwork was selected based on a score given for technical skill, craftsmanship, originality, and student voice.

Chicago Public Schools (CPS) is dedicated to providing a high-quality education to all students, beginning with the District’s free full-day preschool programming for four-year-old scholars and continuing through neighborhood, magnet and selective-enrollment elementary schools that provide a rigorous K-8 education with schools that specialize in the fine arts, world language and culture, dual language, STEM, International Baccalaureate (IB), classical programs, and more. The rising District-wide freshmen-on-track and high school graduation rates reflect the hard work of the CPS community, including families, staff, and students across 635 schools. CPS celebrates the diversity of its more than 322,000 students who cite 182 home languages.
