One June 7th, we were able to pull of something magical. Optimist Con is the city's first comic convention with an all-student artist alley and we hope that this is just the first installment of many. The work here represents workshops held with over 100 Chicago students during the 2024/25 school year and 40 students that were able to sell their work on the show floor. 

​

We still have leftover stock if you'd like to get in on the magic and support! 50% of the proceeds from the online store will go to humanitarian relief for the young people of Gaza, who deserve to their story just as much as our students here in Chicago.
