The Summer Art Gallery highlights the importance of creating spaces where youth feel seen, heard, and valued. For many young artists, having their work displayed publicly is an affirmation that their stories matter. It is an opportunity to build confidence, foster connection, and inspire others through creativity. In communities where young voices are too often overlooked, intentionally making room for artistic expression becomes an act of empowerment. We invite community members, families, partners, and supporters to join us in celebrating the incredible creativity and resilience of our young people. Together, we can continue building a community where youth are encouraged to dream boldly, share authentically, and lead the change they wish to see.

Date: July 1st, 2026
Time: 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Location: Fuerza Youth Center 5339 W. 25th Street Cicero, IL 60804

This event will feature original artwork created by youth ages 15–24 and Fuerza alumni, all exploring this year's theme, Opportunities for Change.

At Corazón Community Services, creating opportunities for change means investing in the strengths, talents, and leadership of young people. Through this gallery, we celebrate not only the art they create, but the vision they hold for a brighter and more equitable future.

We hope you will join us in honoring the artists whose creativity reminds us that change begins when every voice has the opportunity to be heard.
