Lillstreet Art Center
Lillstreet Art Center is an art school, art gallery, and artist studio space in Chicago, Illinois. We offer classes and workshops in Ceramics, Metalsmithing & Jewelry, Textiles, Printmaking, Digital, and Drawing & Painting. Founded in 1975, Lillstreet is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year!
We provide a creative retreat from the noisy world around us, where you can relax, find inspiration, enjoy meditative creative time, make friends, and reach your artistic goals. We foster a community where artists of all backgrounds, ages, and skill levels can learn together. We promise good vibes in the studio and a supportive space to explore your practice and learn new skills.
Through our annual Artist-in-Residence program, we offer career opportunities and workspace for emerging to mid-career artists. We remove barriers to art education through our growing Scholarship Programs and Free Visiting Artist Program. We are committed to giving back to the art community and beyond, with a portion of our profits going to local humanitarian organizations monthly.
