ARTS + PUBLIC LIFE
Who we are.
Arts + Public Life is a dynamic hub of exploration, expression, and exchange that centers on people of color and fosters neighborhood vibrancy through the arts on the South Side of Chicago.
As a neighborhood platform for arts and culture in Washington Park, Arts + Public Life provides residencies for Black and Brown artists and creative entrepreneurs, arts education for youth, and artist-led programming and exhibitions.
How we approach arts education.
We believe in the power of student voices. We lead programs that are learner-centered and process-driven in order to amplify these voices. We conduct continuous assessments to evaluate and enhance program quality and meet the needs of students and educators.
Our project-based approach allows students to respond to real-world demands while learning from their lived experiences and their peers. Our in-depth arts programming for Chicago South Side youth cultivates creativity, social development, and leadership while inspiring them to find and create their places in the world.
