Chicago Artists Coalition is pleased to announce its partnership with Newcity and EXPO CHICAGO. Coinciding with EXPO CHICAGO, CAC will host a centerpiece exhibition of this year's Newcity Breakout Artists. The exhibition will have an opening day on Wednesday, April 10, from 5-9pm. Please reserve your tickets HERE.

Established in 2004, Newcity's annual Breakout Artists issue has become a leading indicator of future success in contemporary art. Of the 150 Breakout Artists before this year, over 40 now have gallery representation, ranging from Hauser & Wirth to numerous Chicago galleries; most of the others, including those who've chosen less commercial paths, show regularly at museums and institutions around the world.

Exhibiting artists include: Luke Agada, Bryana Bibbs (HATCH 2021-22), Maria Burundarena, Ashkon Haidari, Robert Chase Heishman, Leasho Johnson, Natasha Moustache, Ava Wanbli, and Nikko Washington.
