Our creative roots go back 100 years to when The Art Institute of Chicago established its Ox-Bow School here to inspire and educate serious artists. Today, artists of all levels can take advantage of their one- or two-week studio classes or one- or four-day summer workshops. On a more casual level, the Art Barn invites people of all ages and skills to drop in and create something – all instructions and materials provided.
