Chicago Urban Art Retreat Center Welcomes Community Art
Express Your Life in a Positive Way at the Peace Art Studio
The Peace Art Studio was born out of a need for a place where people can go and just make art. Yes, all the materials are provided! Just sit down and leave your stories here. Hundreds of amazing artworks made by people are peeking out here and there in the Peace Art Studio which is located on the lower level of Chicago Urban Art Retreat Center. Art explodes from the wall, the floor, boxes, bottles, papers, clothes, chairs, tables! Everything can be painted here. Just challenge your imagination. You can let your artistic skills free in this studio. Express yourself by using all different kinds of materials, colors, and ideas. Every artwork has its own story to tell. What’s yours?
The Peace Art Studio is a place where non-artists, artists, children, and adults can sit side by side, converse, be silent, or be involved with special workshops geared for certain subjects like recycled art or social justice art. The Peace Art Studio is a friendly and supervised site that welcomes positive diverse community art projects, classes for non-artists, learning and illustrating the social issues of our time, plus a way to relax into art-making to reduce stress and decrease stigma. Residents at the Retreat have total access to this place; while others will come during events, special activities, discussions, and volunteer opportunities. Please email contact@urbanartretreat.com for more information.
Inquire about having a small group come here for a workshop. All ages are welcome. Also, any individual may inquire about a free class.
Join other differently minded folks and enjoy making art in our art studio. We use the Even You Art method of teaching so it doesn’t matter if you think you can make art or not. Everyone can make art here!
We provide a supportive and kind atmosphere where adult non-artists, beginners, and the hesitant can try their hand at art-making. Among other things, we teach drawing, watercolors, collage, acrylics, and assemblage.
You don’t need to bring anything, just yourself. Sit down and relax, follow the instructions and before you know it, you are making art! We learn to practice, take our time, and try it again. It really helps to learn how to use art materials.
An experienced instructor leads you gently in making art and relaxing into it.
To find out when you can attend, send an email to contact@urbanartretreat.com to RSVP for a workshop offered at a time that is good for you. Reach out to us to find out when.
