You notice what others miss.
Turn what you see into real-world change.
URBANFRAME is a social innovation studio for teens.
2026 Program Theme ...
The Invisible City
What's important is hiding in what's ordinary.
This year, we go to overlooked places where the full story plays out: basketball courts where respect organizes play, laundromats where childcare is collaborative, corner stores where humor builds trust.
Working in studios, teens document what's happening, uncover new opportunities, and create the work that communicates with a larger community of change—photography, films, spoken word, installations, visual essays.
The future is worked out in the places others walks past.
