Local artists and sculptors exhibit their work at various local galleries including Carlos & Dominguez Fine Arts Gallery, Prospectus Gallery, Colibri Studio & Gallery, Pilsen Outpost, and Studio Oh!.

In addition, two local cafes, the Cafe Jumping Bean on 18th & Bishop St., and Kristoffer’s Cafe on 18th & Halsted St. serve as gathering places for local residents and usually feature the work of a different artist every month.

The most prominent venue in the area is the National Museum of Mexican Art, which showcases top names from Latin America and the U.S., and occasionally displays works by Pilsen artists. It was selected as one of a few international museums that had the honor of hosting a Frida Kahlo exhibit, which included works by the Mexican master, Diego Rivera.  The museum is located at the southern end of Harrison Park at 1852 W 19th Street.
