The National Veterans Art Museum located in Chicago, IL runs a visual arts program for Chicago teens in partnership with After School Matters. Each semester teens ages 14-18 learn and hone professional and interpersonal skills, while engaging in social art practice methods. In the summer and fall of 2020, under the instruction of artist Verónica Casado Hernandez, the program focused on arts and social justice. In previous in-person programming the teens created protest banners inspired by the Protest Banner Lending Library. In the Summer 2020, during the first remote programming the teens took a spin on the protest banners, creating protest t-shirts to wear during the new all virtual environment. In addition the students looked at the Official Unofficial Voting Station: Voting for All Who Legally Can't to symbolically vote and make artwork around disenfranchisement and voting.
