Spotlight on Youth Art

Spotlight on Youth Art provides a venue for youth to share their unique perspectives and tell their stories through art forms such as photography, video, collage, painting, literary arts, and more. Through partnerships with other organizations throughout the Bay Area, Zeum showcases artwork created by youth from a diverse array of communities that might otherwise go unseen.

Zeum is a place where young people from all backgrounds can make their voices heard. We are pleased to partner with other organizations that share our commitment to fostering creative self-expression among youth.

Upcoming Exhibit

Youth Media Project, Galeria de la Raza

Begins Wednesday, 6/18

Beginning June 18th, Galeria de la Raza and their Youth Media Project will kick off our summer exhibitions for Spotlight on Youth Art. The exhibition will investigate the complex psychological and socio-historical composition of the artists' possible alter egos&8212;fictionalized versions of themselves&8212;navigating an onslaught of barriers, laws, and urban customs. We will be exhibiting a collection of the artists' processes through drawing, writing, video, photography, sculpture and installation.
