The South Chicago Art Center is a non-profit art center for youth on Chicago's South Side.

Now in its seventh year of operation and its fourth year as a independent organization, the Art Center runs a five-day-a-week after-school visual arts program; an in-school program in three local elementary schools; and an urban farm where kids and other community members come together to create beauty by landscaping, planting and growing. At least once a month our kids explore the city in our Cultural Field Trip program. We started an internship program for teenagers in the neighborhood, and it has been truly gratifying to watch the teens inspire and teach our younger participants.
