About the Exhibition

The Autry Museum presents the Students Visual Arts Exhibition: Visions of the Future, a juried exhibition with 100+ middle and high school students' artwork exploring a topic of relevance in the American West. 

For peoples living across the American West, the future has long been an inspiration for dreams, fears, hopes, and actions. Millions of people have headed to the American West in the hopes of securing a better future. Others have viewed the future as an opportunity to reach new horizons, and still others fear what the future might bring. As the present turned into the past, it is those actions, those dreams, those hopes and fears that fill today’s history books and shed light on how those who came before us viewed the future. What do you think the future holds for you? For Los Angeles? For California? For the American West? What do you think the world will look like, sound like, feel like in ten years, fifty years, one hundred years, or even a thousand years?

We call on the students of the American West to share with us their visions of the future, and we look forward to sharing your visions of the future at the Autry Museum.
