Join artists and educators Jorge Lucero (University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana), Olivia Gude (School of the Art Institute of Chicago), Silvia Gonzalez (Franklin Fine Arts), Alice Costas (Northside College Prep), Janani Nathan (Nicholas Senn High School), Alejandro Colunga, Jr. (Back of the Yards College Prep High School), Andrea Yarbrough (in c/o: Black Women, Cooperation Racine), and Vanessa Sanchez (Yollocalli Arts Reach) for a conversation on the evolution of arts education in Chicago. Together, they offer insights into the diverse approaches and personal experiences that have shaped their practices.

Following their discussion, attendees are invited to connect with retired, practicing, and incoming educators in the gallery. As part of Learning Together: Art Education and Community, this program is a gathering space where past, present, and future art educators can share their thoughts, approaches, and personal journeys in the field.
