Maine West Fine Arts Department

We are so lucky to have such an exceptional educator like Mr. Benitez at West!

Congratulations to Maine West art teacher Chuy Benitez for being among eight local educators recently recognized in the 2026 Scholastic Art and Writing Awards Chicago Regional Ceremony for having the highest number of individual student art award recipients!

In addition to being honored by the Scholastic Arts and helping his students excel in their art, Benitez recently excelled in his own art and had three of his photographs published in the photobook Chicano Camera Culture by Elizabeth Ferrer.
