Veteran Art Summit

November 5 — 8, 2026

From November 5th through 8th, in the days leading up to Veterans Day, the Veteran Art Summit will bring together featured artists for free public programs that deepen our understanding of war resistance while emphasizing relationship building and community care. The Summit will include a series of keynote performances at each hosting institution—Chicago Cultural Center, Elmhurst Art Museum, Hyde Park Art Center, Walls Turned Sideways—along with poetry readings, panel discussions, gallery tours, artmaking and movement workshops, and so much more.
