We believe the arts are vital to every community Chicago Community Arts Studio is a BIPOC led and focused organization that presents programming for all ages, backgrounds, and experiences in support of their general well-being with a focus on trauma-informed healing. We believe people should have opportunities to engage with their creativity in a supportive environment. This mission reflects our understanding and experiencing of the arts as an instrument for healing and wholeness. Our Executive Director and our Board President are both practicing artists that have lived the healing power of the arts in their personal lives as well as seeing it in school and community settings.
