"Visualizing The Future" Art Exhibit

Homeboy Art Academy and North Figueroa Bookshop are joining forces to present a curated student art exhibition entitled, “Visualizing the Future.” Featuring works in the mediums of photography, cyanotype and graphic arts, Homeboy Art Academy students from the ages of 18-25 confront the principle of future, while addressing the concepts of identity, emotion, culture, and community. All works will be presented in the gallery space of iconic independent bookstore, North Figueroa Bookshop, in Highland Park. The exhibition opens on Saturday May 9th, 2026, kicking off with a reception that evening from 4pm to 8pm, featuring sips and bites, in addition to live music provided by Music Heals, part of Young Musicians Foundation.

The exhibition runs from May 9th to June 20th; the opening night celebration is free for the public; local vendors will be on site selling food as well. All student artwork will be available for purchase. Addition information can be found on Instagram at @homeboy_art_academy and @northfigbookshop.
