Street Level programs promote self-expression, communication, and social change.<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">HISTORY<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1991, artist I\u00f1igo Manglano-Ovalle wondered what would happen if young people documented the world as they saw it, and he initiated a media arts project in his West Town neighborhood as part of a public art program aimed at expressing the concerns of Chicago communities. This installation of 75 monitors was presented at a block party and brought to light issues that played out daily from gangs to gentrification as it engaged residents and informed fellow Chicagoans.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1995, the success of this project inspired the formation of Street-Level Youth Media, one of the country&#8217;s first nonprofits to offer technology access and media arts training to urban youth. Three years later the organization won the inaugural <em>Coming Up Taller Award <\/em>from President Clinton&#8217;s Committee for Arts and the Humanities for its innovative approach to arts education.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In January 2017, Street Level (later renamed from Street-Level Youth Media) officially became a part of Urban Gateways. Urban Gateways engages young people in arts experiences to inspire creativity and impact social change.
