Visit "A Universe of Self-Experience" on view on our second floor until October 15th!

This exhibition celebrates new work by young artists participating in Hyde Park Art Center’s Teen programs. Titled A Universe of Self-Experience by the Youth Board of Artists, the exhibition audaciously recognizes the boundlessness and complexity within the time in which these young artists exist. Through a diverse range of media and styles, more than forty artists investigate the intertwined vastness and intimate side of self-experience. This exhibition is curated by Alex Herrera, Teen Programs Manager and Tran Tran, Exhibitions and Residency Coordinator.

Sign up on August 15 to join the Fall term of "Sequences, Iterations, and Permutations (SiP)," a program part of Professional Pathways at Hyde Park Art Center that explores how artists work iteratively in groups of images, objects, and moving images. While this class is topic based, there is a focus on cultivating each student's personal artistic practice. In the past SiP has also explored the formation of a SiP artist collective, embarked on a large exhibition, and produced multiple collaborative projects. Anyone who takes SiP and becomes an alum is invited to coffee/tea hour held before each class, in addition to other events and projects. SiP is led by Jasper Godrich .goodrich.

Explore sequences, iterations, and permutations in contemporary art and throughout history. Instead of art making that leads to one thing (a painting, sculpture, etc.), this class is about making a collection of images that cumulatively express an artist’s project, tell a story, depict an emotion, or communicate an idea. Using a variety of mediums from drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, and photography, students will make groups of images in drafts, drawing on other artforms such as music, fashion, film, dance, graphic design, and typography. Through presentations, exercises, and discussions, this class is a deep investigation into the structure of images and sequencing. SiP explores how working iteratively (building upon previous forms, where information is lost and gained through making) can help artists’ creative process.

This class will occur over zoom on Sundays from 11:00 am - 1:30 pm running from 10/1 - 12/3, lasting 10 weeks. Before each class, there is optional coffee/tea time available for current students and SiP alums from 10:00 am - 11:00 am. There will also be optional in-person sessions to be announced at the beginning of the term.

Last chance to visit Amuleto!
The group show closes this Sunday, August 13.
Amuleto is a collaboration between the independent art spaces The Franklin, Mayfield, and Hyde Park Art Center to present artwork by artists that address the ideas of the amulet/amuleto: portable objects that are attributed to magical, emotional, or sentimental value. Civilizations have believed in the energy of amulets going all the way back to ancient times. These talismans are often worn to aid or protect their wearer or given a spiritual significance that varies from person to person and is symbolically compared to armor. How do contemporary artists incorporate the alchemy of artifacts in their work?

William Estrada first solo show, "Multiples and Multitudes" is one of the 10 Art Shows to See in Chicago This Summer, according to Hyperallergic!
This exhibition, curated by Mariela Acuña Residency and Exhibitions Manager at Hyde Park Art Center, opens this Saturday, July 22, during the Center Day celebration from 1 to 4 pm. Don't miss it!

"For more than a decade, the Chicago-based printmaker William Estrada has pushed a cart through the city and its suburbs with a simple goal: to get strangers to make art with him. The cart, inspired partly by those of Mexican ice cream vendors, unfolds into an impressive sidewalk studio where passersby can join free screen-printing workshops, discuss community issues, and make political posters expressing their concerns."

A Universe of Self-Experience opens next Saturday, July 22nd, during Center Day!
Join us for the opening public reception from 1:00 to 4:00 pm.

A Universe of Self-Experience by The Youth Board of Artists (a dedicated cohort of teen leaders at Hyde Park Art Center), the exhibition audaciously recognizes the boundlessness and complexity within the time in which these young artists exist. Through a diverse range of media and styles, more than 40 artists investigate the intertwined vastness and intimate side of self-experience. Teen artists connect their work to the shared awareness of the universal human experience, tapping into the social currents that are echoing within their close communities. While other teens reveal the intricacies of their introspective, deeply personal inner universe. The collection of work contemplates the myriad ways everyone perceives, experiences, and discovers their own world.

Hyde Park Art Center announces residents of the 2023 Jackman Goldwasser Residency.

Hyde Park Art Center is very pleased to announce the eleventh iteration of the Jackman Goldwasser Residency. Each year, the Residency invites international, national, and Chicago artists and curators to research new ideas and reflect on their practice while considering local and global art dialogs. Rooted in a community art center, the Residency connects artists and thinkers to a wide network of support and to our vibrant multifaceted community of artists, curators, and scholars who are based locally and around the world.

“We are so thrilled to welcome this year’s residents to our community. Through their practice, these artists are committed to exploring issues related to justice, representation, care, and knowledge-sharing and production—all values that are deeply woven into the mission of our organization. We embrace the opportunity to support their research, make space for reflection, be challenged, and grow together.” —Mariela Acuna, Exhibitions and Residency Manager.

2023 Chicago resident artists
Sofía Fernández Díaz, is a multidisciplinary artist whose process is fueled by her knowledge of ancient and modern techniques, by combining experimentation, intuition, and play to discover unexpected commonalities between unrelated materials.

Eric Perez, is a first-generation American, US Marine Corps veteran, artist and educator. Primarily a photographer, his work focuses on his experience of being a Marine during his two deployments as part of the Global War on Terror and the impacts of militarized intervention. Perez is the recipient of the annual David C. and Sarajean Ruttenberg Arts Foundation award which makes this residency possible.

Kushala Vora, is a dreamer, community organizer, and an interdisciplinary artist working in sculpture and drawing. Through her practice she focuses on reducing the exertion of power on oneself, another, and the landscape.

Rhonda Wheatley is a multidisciplinary artist, energy worker, and educator whose installations and interactive projects are grounded in speculative and metaphysical knowledge to achieve community-healing and self-care.

All Chicago residents will be in residency from January 16–December 15, 2023.

Visiting residency program
With support from the McKnight Artist Residencies consortium and the Artist Communities Alliance (ACA), we will welcome Minneapolis-based artists Norah Shapiro (April 10–22) and Rotem Tamir (May 15–27). Shapiro is an Emmy Award winning documentary filmmaker committed to justice focused storytelling informed by her decade-long first career as a public defender. Tamir’s art practice focuses on traditions of object making and how objects morph as they travel with their bearers through time and space, echoing the complex stories of relocation and shuffled identities.

We are thrilled to continue our ongoing partnership with CEC ArtsLink’s acclaimed international fellowship program as we welcome Belarussian artist Rufina Bazlova (October 10–November 15). Bazlova uses traditional Belarussian folk embroidery to create images of resistance in Belarus, whether by depicting peaceful protests or stories of people who have been illegally detained. This residency is made possible with support from the Abakanowicz Arts and Culture Charitable Foundation Research and Production Fund.
