The event is free for people ages 21 and under and their families, though all are welcome to attend.

Designed by Chicago youth and curated and hosted by the MCA’s Teen Creative Agency (TCA), 21Minus is the MCA’s annual exposition of youth creativity and control. This year’s theme, What Was, What Is, engages our pasts, our histories, and ourselves in order to recognize the realities of our experiences and environments.

The 2023 return of 21Minus welcomes a record number of contributors!

Join us at the MCA Chicago on June 17th, 2023 from 1-6 pm for an afternoon of performances, workshops, art installations, film screenings and more!

The event is free for people ages 21 and under and their families, though all are welcome to attend.
