Since 2004, Newcity has featured an even 160 artists, many of whom have since gone on to significant careers. This year, Newcity evolved the process they go through to identify our artists to include input from a much wider constituency of voices in the art community, settling on a shortlist of 130 that whittled down to their largest group ever. Meet the ten Breakout Artists of 2023 and see their work, at the Breakout Artists Exhibition at the Chicago Artists Coalition opening on April 12. (Brian Hieggelke)
