OUR MISSION 

Artist Life, NFP (ALNFP) is a world-class art education organization located in the heart of  Chatham on Chicago's south side. ALNFP enriches the Chicago’s commitments to excellence, diversity and social concerns. 

​

Our mission is to connect economic, racial and social divisions by providing under-resourced youth with the keys to self-sufficiency through paid employment in the art and design fields. Participants will learn the techniques and tools of professional artists and designers while engaging in education, employment and artistic exploration.

​

"Artistic Life, NFP" is not just a program; it's a beacon of hope for our youth. It provides tangible opportunities, exposure, and transformative experiences that rewrite their current narratives. In a world where the divide between the rich and the poor often boils down to access, education, mentorship, and support, Artist Life, NFP bridges that gap. Our founders, program instructors and consultants, living examples of triumph over adversity, demonstrate that with exposure, education, and a nurturing environment, dreams can become reality. Through Artist Life, NFP,  we cultivate not just skills, but hope—a hope that ignites positive change within individuals and communities alike.

 

With your help we can produce life changing transformations for youth and their communities.
