Art Encounter membership helps provide essential funding for our outreach and community programming, serving thousands of public school students, residents in senior living facilities, adults with disabilities, and community groups across the Chicago area each year. As thanks for this support, we offer a number of special, free experiences for our members, including our annual Members Appreciation Party, our annual Friends Appreciation Event, and our online Lunchtime Art Chats.
Please see below for information about our upcoming special experiences for members. To learn more about all membership benefits or become a member, please visit our membership page.
