About the Artist
Born in 1996, Joey Center was raised in the suburbs of Chicago and was a Chicago Studio artist until 2024. Center’s creative practice was primarily driven by the exploration of his various interests – guitars, classic cars, idyllic landscapes, and space travel. Working from both memory and carefully selected source imagery, his curious graphite drawings are both dreamlike and detailed. An avid fan of 90s rock and metal, Center played the guitar since he was seven; he usually practiced on a favorite Epiphone Les Paul or his late father’s red Ibanez.
About the organization

The community is committed to crafting a space where each artist feels genuine respect, trust, and, most importantly, that their voice is welcome and heard.
