Different Perspectives

Community Education Youth

The Teen Creative Agency's programs, like 21Minus, draw people from all over Chicago.

TCA brings groups of people who would have never been in the museum into the space, and they are able to bring their perspective from various places in the city geographically, and also different perspectives in daily life that aren't usually here. So when you bring that into the museum, you're changing the way the museum actually works.
