Arts of Life

Arts of Life is a non-profit organization that offers an artistic community and work environment for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Chicagoland pursuing careers in art. Art of Life has three professional art studios. Artists have their own studio space and work independently from individualized project plans or receive one-to-one visual arts help to increase their artistic skill set. Artists earn a monthly stipend for participating in the program and bonuses based on personal annual art sales. It also provides community programs designed to break down barriers and provide new opportunities for all artists, and remote programming.

Arts of Life offers opportunities for artists to work in one of its professional studios, in classes at partner art centers, or in their homes. It brings together artists from more than 40 zip codes to work in communities in West Town, Woodlawn, Glenview, Evanston, and Highland Park.
