The vibrancy of Chicago’s cultural community is possible because of the range of those who participate.
From professional artists experimenting with new ideas, to children exploring their newfound talents and interests—the Art Center believes that people of all ages, backgrounds and skill levels should have the opportunity to develop creatively.
This is why we aim to provide greater access to the visual arts, ensuring tomorrow’s artists and art lovers reflect the diversity that makes our city great…
