Gallery Hours: Mon – Fri, 10am-6pm

What defines you? Everyday experiences inform our values. In turn, our values—personal, familial, economic, cultural, religious, moral, political, historical, aesthetic, or otherwise—shape our identity and influence the ways we express and identify ourselves as youth.

If you are what you value, then what makes you, you?

Curated by Arts + Public Life’s Teen Arts Council, Correct Opinions is an exhibition of works created by more than 50 teen artists from After School Matters programs across Chicago. Painting, sculpture, photography, multimedia, and mixed media explore varied personal interpretations of “value” and the impact this concept has on how we perceive our voices in the world. “Correct Opinions” examines and demonstrates the idea that—through values both distinct and interconnected—we are all ultimately united by a need for self-expression and collectively strengthened by commitment to mutual respect.

Presented by the University of Chicago’s Arts and Public Life initiative in partnership with After School Matters, with additional support from the UChicago Arts Grant and UChicago Charter School.
