The South Chicago Art Center is happy to offer classes and workshops to schools or to individuals/groups for special events such as children's birthday parties. This is a great way to help a good cause and teach children that art can be a fun learning experience.

Below is a list of class ideas or can work with you to come up with a custom class (pictures are at the bottom of this page). Classes are an hour and a half in duration and are $15 per student (minimum of 5 students).
Please call us to inquire at 773-731-9287.
