Art Camps in Chicago
Best Art Classes for Kids in Chicago
Chicago has an unusually deep kids' art scene — the Art Institute of Chicago's Ryan Learning Center runs museum-based classes, Porchlight Music Theatre's Broadway Basics program covers musical theater for beginners, and Chicago has a strong network of neighborhood art studios in Wicker Park, Andersonville, Hyde Park, and Bucktown. Add circus arts through CircEsteem (one of the few real circus programs in the US) and comedy/improv through Second City's Youth Comedy Camps, and Chicago families have serious choice across visual, performing, and specialty arts.
Filter below by age, price, or neighborhood. Most Chicago art studios run trimester-based registration (fall / spring / summer) — the summer trimester opens in January or February and popular studios like Porchlight and CircEsteem fill early.
