The Project Osmosis apprenticeship program, “Design Explorers—Art Design Chicago 4.0,”  provides opportunities for high school students from communities underrepresented in the design fields to work with design and branding professionals and instructors who come from the same communities. Participants gain hands-on experience; explore design problems; and visit Art Design Chicago sites, where they participate in programs, view exhibitions, and meet with curators and other art and design professionals. The program encourages students to see themselves as designers of new realities and to recognize the contributions and work of other artists and designers from diverse communities and their own neighborhoods.
