WELCOME
Art Impact Project is a non-profit organization in the Chicago area dedicated to enhancing emotional wellness through creative expression.
Our programming is specifically curated for each population we serve from middle school students to senior citizens. We offer over 100 specifically designed projects with clear objectives – such as increasing positive self-awareness, building confidence, and promoting empathy for others. Our partnerships with schools, drug and alcohol treatment programs, libraries, and many more community service spaces served over 1,500 teens and 200 adults in 2023 alone.
Make an Impact in Your Community!
Our site partnerships are growing faster than we can keep up and we need more volunteer Art Advocates to support our programming! We’re working in several area schools and community organizations – would you like to join us? Reach out to Cassandra, our Manager of Programming to learn more about volunteering with us.
You do not need to be an expert artist and the commitment is very individualized. Join our program and become an Art Advocate Volunteer today!
Combining art-making, encouragement, and non-judgemental support.
DAILY IMPACT
We had a great group at Gorton Center last night with the Kandinsky inspired Concentric Circles project. We use acrylic paint on canvas with a touch of collage to break down our complex layers of emotion. We have one last session on June 10th before summer break.

This week we started the last of our projects for the year with the students at North Chicago Community High School, Prompted Paintings; the theme was summer. Students loved "painting" with POSCA acrylic paint pens on mini canvas reflecting what they'll be up to during the summer break. Whether it's dreaming of beaches, working to earn money for a car, spending time with friends and family, or relaxing at the park, these students share a little piece of themselves every week, and we love being able to share that with you! #summerlove #summerbreak #summer #creativeexpression #minicanvas #artmatters
