Artists need a space to create where they can feel liberated to explore their own artistic style and inspirations without fear of judgement or criticism. We aim to provide the right tools and resources needed to provide artists with the freedom to experiment and craft their work to the best of their ability. At CMA you can express your ideas and be surrounded by the motivation and support of other people who share a similar passion for art.

Our goal is to provide Chicago with an art center that serves as a gathering place for members of the community to come together and be inspired by the power of art. We want to create a space that encourages collaboration and the exchange of ideas, where everyone feels welcomed and accepted. Through exhibits, events, classes, and workshops, we hope to foster a sense of community and provide an outlet for creativity. We believe that art has the potential to bring people together, build bridges, and create a positive, vibrant atmosphere in our city.
