COVID-19 Outdoor Art Shows


In response to COVID-19 and having to cancel all our in-person events for the foreseeable future, TEA hosted two outdoor, socially-distanced art shows in Rogers Park, Chicago. We’re excited that we found a way to host something exciting and meaningful for our neighbors while still putting money in the hands of the artists doing the work.
