Our mission is to fill a much needed void by creating arts and cultural programming, such as workshops, classes, performances, exhibitions, artist partnerships, and residencies. Our focus is to add to the artistic landscape of the Westside of Chicago while celebrating and documenting community, art and cultural history.

Founded in 2019, Front Porch Arts Center was created to serve Westside communities that although are rich and culturally vibrant, are also economically and artistically under-served.
