Mutuality: The Center Program Biennial Exhibition
December 13, 2025 - March 22, 2026
The Center Program offers artists the opportunity to develop new work, receive feedback from art professionals, and work towards an exhibition at the Hyde Park Art Center over the course of a year. For this edition of the program, the cohort focuses on Mutuality as the guiding principle for discussion and discourse toward new works. Defining mutuality as “demonstrating mutual care and interest as artists and people,” the exhibition challenges Center Program artists, as people living in the United States, to think about how intentions, works, and practices impact the world.
This eleventh iteration of the program is led by Program Curator Teresa Silva, an independent curator based in Chicago, and features the work of twenty artists: Bethany Cordero, Amethyst Davis, Caitlyn Doran, Josué Esaú, Richard Gessert, Jalen Hamilton, Juan Molina Hernández, Amay Kataria, Millicent Kennedy, Deborah Kraft, Dawn Liddicoatt, Charlotte Mays, Kelly McKaig, Gabriel Moreno, Vida Sačić, Carlos Salazar-Lermont, Eugene I-Peng Tang, Carina Vargas-Nuñez, Frank Vega, and Katie Vota.
