View The 2023 Senior Portfolio Exhibition!
In partnership with the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) and Design Museum of Chicago, the All-City Senior Portfolio Exhibition gives CPS high school seniors the opportunity to exhibit their artwork and to gain exposure among selected admissions representatives of various colleges and universities. Students in grade 12 from any CPS school (including district-managed, charter, contract, and options schools) are eligible to submit work.
We are so incredibly proud of the 150 high school seniors from over 30 CPS schools whose artwork was selected to feature in the in-person and online exhibitions! We also extend our deepest thanks to the teachers, administrators, parents, and family members who submitted work on behalf of these students or encouraged them to independently submit their work.
