Evanston Art Center
Founded in 1929, the Evanston Art Center has become one of the largest community art centers in Illinois and a leading provider of quality arts education and community outreach. Created through the efforts of 20 civic organizations, from 1929 to 1943 the Art Center was housed in the basement of the old Evanston Library. In 1942, the Art Center was incorporated as a nonprofit. Since 1966, the Art Center has lived and grown in in the Harley Clarke House on the shores of Lake Michigan. In May 2015, the Evanston Art Center is officially moving to its new home at 1717 Central Street. The new location allows the Art Center to expand beyond the visual arts and additionally offer programming in culinary and language arts, design, digital fabrication, film, movement, music, performance and more. At its new home, the Evanston Art Center will serve more people in more ways, offering a variety of services to a diverse community.
