Mission

Cherry Mountain Arts is an open-format art space and nonprofit organization dedicated to elevating artists, art lovers, and students of art. Rooted in Chicago, we believe that art has no bounds and should have no limits to how it's defined. Our mission is to provide a dynamic creative space that serves as a  place for the community to come together and be inspired by the limitless power of art.

 

We strive to support emerging artists and introduce Chicago to respected artists from around the world through our unique programming style. Embracing all forms of artistic expression, our programming includes traditional art exhibits, movie screenings, pop-up shops, art markets, and everything in between. We believe in celebrating art in all its forms because we know it has the potential to bring people together, build bridges, and create a positive, vibrant atmosphere in our city.

 

As a nonprofit, Cherry Mountain is committed to helping artists with resources, providing grants, and offering space to facilitate their aspirations. We aim to foster collaboration and the exchange of ideas, encouraging artists to explore their own styles and inspirations without fear of judgment or criticism. One person can’t change the world alone, but together we can create a bigger impact by tackling our endeavors in unique and nontraditional ways. And no matter what we do, we guarantee it's going to be fun.

 

At Cherry Mountain Arts, you can express your ideas freely and be surrounded by the motivation and support of others who share a passion for art. Together, we can help create a boundless and inspiring art community that enriches the cultural fabric of our city.
