Imagine life without art…
Art enriches the quality of life for everyone. From toddlers experimenting with finger paints to senior citizens learning to use the potter’s wheel, The Art Center brings the arts to life through hundreds of classes, monthly exhibitions, special educational events and outreach programs every year.
The Art Center is proud to partner with area schools, surrounding communities, and other non – profit organizations to offer scholarships and outreach that help extend the benefits and reach of the arts. TAC offers over 150 scholarships per year to local students, adults and senior citizens. TAC also offers summer Internships to High School and College students in the area each summer. We also offer to the following Outreach programs to the community:
Art Start Scholarship Program
Art Start insures that students who have an interest and who can benefit from an art education are able to participate in TAC classes despite any financial need. Area schools also identify types of classes students may need for portfolio development. School teachers and social service organizations identify and refer students who can benefit. Seniors, adults, and children can apply and take advantage of this program.
Make Art Count
Make Art Count (MAC) is a partnership between The Art Center and local community centers, including Nuestro Centro in Highwood, IL. The Art Center sponsors weekly art classes as part of a greater outreach effort to surrounding areas.
Joyeria y Textiles (Jewelry and Textiles) Instruction Programs
The Art Center recognizes that for many individuals, attending professional art classes is a financial challenge. In our community of Highland Park, The Art Center works collaboratively to build and sustain art programs for Latina women ñ Joyeria y Textiles. At two, year-round, classes in jewelry and textiles, participants develop their traditional craft skills, and begin the process of learning to market their handcrafted artwork in the marketplace.
