This exhibition surveys the early artistic involvement of Mexican travelers and immigrants to
Chicago. Mexican crafts people and artists visited or migrated to the city at the turn of the 20th
century; some came to exhibit, some to work, and others to witness the labor organizing by the
rising unions. This exhibition features photographs, artifacts, and works of art from the years
between the World’s Columbian Exposition (1893) and the Civil Rights Era (ending around
1970).
Free and open to the public. Presented as part of Art Design Chicago.
