Our event will kick off from 1pm-4pm, with Highland Park’s Caren Rudman, Deerfield’s Karen Ross, and North Shore’s Roslyne Smith each opening their studio space to meet tour guests and offer art for purchase. These artists have been long-time supporters of Art Impact Project’s work in Lake County.

Our innovative mission and model align with best practices and integrate the core principles of Social & Emotional Learning. The impact of our programming focuses in these core areas:
- Encourage self-exploration to build increased self-awareness and confidence
- Create avenues for hope and healing by learning coping skills
- Increased skills in empathy and pro-social attitudes and beliefs
- Create community and foster connections and positive relationships
- Support of mental health and overall wellness of our greater community
Let’s work together to foster the benefit of art for our entire community!
The Benefit of Art is our signature fundraising event; our goal is to raise $50,000 to fuel our important mission. This year YOU will help us celebrate our 11 years of powerful community impact.
