TEENMADE IS THE REIMAGINED ASM GIFT SHOP THAT CENTERS CHICAGO TEENS’ CREATIVITY AND VOICE.
TEENMADE is a brand spotlighting the creative work of Chicago teens participating in After School Matters programs.
TEENMADE showcases teens’ artistry through creative works and themed apparel “drops.”
TEENMADE provides young artists and entrepreneurs a platform to showcase and celebrate their talents.
Every teen in an After School Matters program receives a financial stipend for their participation, highlighting the value of their time and efforts. Our expert instructors provide a meaningful experience for growth, helping teens explore their potential and shape their futures. Each piece in the TEENMADE shop is crafted by these paid teen artists, and we reinvest 100% of TEENMADE revenue back into ASM programs.
TEENMADE features high-quality art and clothing items with curated designs from Chicago teens.
The Gallery is located at 66 E. Randolph St. within Gallery 37 for the Arts, showcasing curated art installations from ASM programs.
The Gallery hosts pop-ups and events organized by ASM programs in collaboration with the TEENMADE team, allowing the public to experience the work of our teen artists.
TEENMADE will curate limited collections with a unifying theme or narrative. Each "drop" will give teens the opportunity to express their creativity through the TEENMADE brand.
