Ground Floor 2022 opened recently at the Hyde Park Art Center and features alums Juan Baños Fonseca (MFA ‘22), and Nick Jackson (MFA ‘21)!

This edition presents paintings, drawings, sculptures, installations, fiber, photographs, new media, and performance work that propose alternative ways to see the world, different relationships between the body and nature and new perspectives of history. 

This ongoing Biennial exhibition since 2010, brings together work by Chicago’s most promising emerging talent. The exhibition offers a single destination to discover artists, who have recently graduated (in 2021 and 2022) from one of Chicago’s five outstanding MFA programs and whose work demands to be seen and supported. Ground Floor presents art made in the past couple of years in hopes to investigate and articulate conceptual and stylistic trends coming out of Chicago art schools right now. Learn more »
