The Simple Good provides art programming in under-served communities centered on providing positive self-realization and developing a skill set to enable and empower youth to make a difference in their communities for the better. Our youth benefit from the Simple Good program by developing their cognitive development skills, communication and interpersonal skills through engaging in the artistic p

rocess but also, build global awareness and a connection to external communities through an enriched understanding of humanity via our global crowd-sourced curriculum. The merriment of these two crucial pieces of the program, empower our youth to think about possibility, hope and change that they can individually can initiate in their communities to continue to bring understanding of the simple good in the world. Through this powerful curriculum, we hope to empower youth to make a positive change in their communities in effort for them to create a better environment for their communities as well as the world they will grow up in.

This weekend we celebrated 15 years of spreading The Simple Good alongside one of our longest-standing partners, Madero Middle School in Little Village.

We brought together incoming students, current students, and our TSG Youth Ambassadors to reflect on what we’ve built together and what’s still possible. From generations of Little Village students sharing artwork that expresses their “simple good” across the city, to our international mural exchange with students in Rwanda, this partnership shows what spreading positivity and hope can create.

Through that exchange, students shared artwork, stories, and their “simple goods” across continents, culminating in murals at each school filled with handprints and messages from Chicago and Rwanda.
To honor both milestones, students came together to recreate the mural, using their own handprints to spell “Love & Unity.” In a moment when division can feel loud, our young people reminded us that connection, hope, and resilience are still within reach.

We are humbled to reflect on 15 years of impact with our community partners - and excited to build the next 15 together. We can’t wait to unveil the final mural!

A beautiful celebration of creativity, healing, and hope. The Simple Good’s Youth Art Showcase at McKinsey & Co gave young people across Chicago a space to share their voices, stories, and artwork with the community.

Through art, we continue to see confidence grow, healing take shape, and futures open up for the next generation. As we celebrate 15 Years of Good, we are grateful for every student, partner, supporter, and moment that continues to remind us how powerful creativity and community can be together.

What does The Simple Good look like - for all of us?

This year, our 11th Annual Chicago Art Scavenger Hunt is rooted in a powerful theme: “The Simple Good for All.”

Because joy, creativity, wellness, and kindness shouldn’t be exclusive - they should be experienced by everyone across our city.

When you join the Hunt, you’re not just solving clues. You’re discovering art in unexpected places, practicing acts of kindness, and prioritizing moments of wellness. And through each experience, you’re helping us build a more connected, compassionate Chicago where everyone has the opportunity to define and live their own version of The Simple Good.

✨ This is more than a scavenger hunt—it’s a movement.

And it matters - proceeds from this event will support The Simple Good’s mindfulness-based arts programs for 300 youth this summer.

Join us. Bring your team. Be part of something bigger.

“I feel that The Simple Good had a tremendous impact on the way I view the world. Everything that I do in my craft is about bringing positivity to the Black community and our experiences.”

- Brianna�
This is the outcome of using and the arts for young people to explore who they really are and move towards their potential. 🎨

Brianna’s story is a reminder that when youth are empowered to reflect, create, and share, they don’t just grow - they go on to be leaders who shape and influence culture, community, and how stories are told.

This is why we do what we do.

And it’s why our 11th Annual Chicago Art Scavenger Hunt matters.

✨ Hunt for Good is a race to discover the Simple Good of Chicago - all while raising critical funds to support our summer youth art programs.

Every ticket, every team, every moment of participation helps make stories like Brianna’s possible.

Earlybird pricing ends THIS THURSDAY, April 30th! Rally your teams now :-)
