The Evanston Art Center is hosting its annual teen exhibition, titled "Stronger Together," running through April 22. Organized by the center’s teen board, the showcase features works that explore themes of peace, unity, and community resilience. This year’s display includes watercolor and digital pieces, specifically highlighting works by local students like Frances Wade, who contributed pieces reflecting on personal and communal connections.
This initiative underscores the importance of providing professional exhibition spaces for young creators to develop their practice and leadership skills. By allowing the teen board to curate themes and manage the installation process, the Evanston Art Center fosters a pipeline for the next generation of artists and arts administrators. The exhibition serves as a vital platform for youth voices to engage with global and local social issues through visual media.
