Chicagoland youth groups and individuals are invited to create an original piece of artwork for Steppenwolf Theatre’s new dedicated Arts and Education Center, The Loft. The theme for artwork is “The Future I See: Creating for Community.” Youth submissions are now open and will be accepted until July 1, 2021.
This juried competition welcomes visual artists in all mediums (mural, photography, sculpture, graphic design, printmaking, collage, graffiti, etc.) between 14–22 years of age to submit their work for an opportunity to be exhibited in The Loft. Selected by a jury of celebrated local artists, creatives and curators in collaboration with Chicago youth and Steppenwolf Education staff, the winning entries will be displayed for one year at Steppenwolf, receive a $1,500 cash prize ($2,500 for group submissions) and receive a stipend for supplies and materials.
THE LOFT
The fourth floor of Steppenwolf’s new Arts and Education Center, also known as The Loft, is a brand-new space designed to house all of Steppenwolf Education’s programming and inspire the next generation of theater learners, makers and appreciators. The Loft includes three dedicated learning spaces for young people to explore and create within, as well as gallery walls that will feature artwork created by Chicagoland youth. Steppenwolf's Loft: just bring yourself.
