This Chicago Urban Art Retreat Center (CUARC) program helps to cover our overhead by subcontracting with other organizations to provide programming for them. Many organizations don’t have an art program or a stress reduction program. We can do that! We can offer art classes, art workshops, art therapy for individuals and groups, and problem-solving sessions.

We may offer a weekly art program for battered women at a shelter or provide a stress reduction program and relaxation time for a seniors building. We may offer a team-building and problem-solving program for employees at a local business.

By showing how to use art materials, we can help people increase confidence and self-esteem, reduce their stress level, improve math and science abilities, find a hobby or passion, and provide a place for people to interact in a safe art-making place.

CUARC welcomes all organizations to contact us for more information! We will talk with you and negotiate just the right program. Once we have decided upon details, we set up a day and time to provide the program. Sometimes we set up a 1, 2, or 3 part art workshop. Sometimes, we set up a series of art classes. And other times, we may set up a weekly program for the entire year.

The rate varies depending on several factors.

We are currently looking for businesses that would like to offer a benefit to their employees of a “retreat” where they get to make art and to relax with each other, or work out staff problems, or bring their families for a special treat of art-making together. We can provide our services at your site!

We Have Experience With:

Seniors, domestic violence survivors, youth at risk, mothers and their babies, staff members at various organizations such as daycare and foster care, men, women, teens, mentally ill adults, children and adults with physical disabilities, inner-city residents, suburban residents, Chicago Housing Authority residents, youth who have been involved in gangs, restorative justice participants, and more.

Our workshops and classes can help people to increase self-esteem and confidence, decrease stress, and aid in establishing a pattern of accomplishments.

This can enable people to be successful in other areas of their life.

An organization can contact us for a free estimate of what it would cost to bring one workshop or an ongoing art program to their site. Please call (773) 542-9126 and leave your contact information or email us at contact@urbanartretreat.com for more information. It does not cost anything to inquire. We often provide one freebee!
