Schools

Children and artist guide in MCA gallery with art

Students explore the creative process, develop critical thinking skills, and make relevant connections between their lives and the art of our time.

Youth

A group of ten Chicago teens jump excitedly outside, each of them wearing a 21Minus shirt.

We invite teens to learn about art, the world, and themselves in the company of like-minded peers.

A large group of children and adults gather around a freestanding doorway-like sculpture in a brightly lit gallery space.

The MCA offers experiences that redefine the way that kids and families explore and create art together.

The Library and Archives collection keeps the MCA's history alive and makes it accessible to researchers and MCA staff alike.
