Yollocalli Arts Reach is the award-winning youth initiative of the National Museum of Mexican Art. Since 1997 we have been providing FREE art programming and youth development to teens and young adults in Chicago.

Our yearly fundraiser (10-4-19 at the National Museum of Mexican Art, 21+) helps make special projects like public art, community workshops, and art exhibitions happen for young people on the south and west sides of Chicago.  We hope you can help by donating. Thank you!

More about us:

Located in the heart of Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood, we serve as an open community center with studio spaces, a computer lab, radio production studio, a large art library, and a creative, supportive staff who are always around to help, encourage, and inspire. We aim to strengthen the students’ creative and cultural capital by engaging them with their own cultural discourses through art making

Our mission is to strengthen the value of youth art and culture by providing equal access to communal, artistic, and cultural resources that allow youth to become creative and engaged community members.
