Perspective Gallery is pleased to present "Student Perspectives 2024," our thirteenth annual juried exhibition of photography by Chicago area high school students. This year, 44 images by 40 students were selected for the exhibition.

Our juror this year, Nate Mathews, received his Master of Fine Art Degree in Photography from Columbia College Chicago in 2008. He teaches as an Associate Professor of Art at Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago. His work explores poorly designed architectural spaces and sites constructed by the U.S. military during the Cold War.
