Since 1987, Marwen has educated and inspired under-served young people through visual arts. Each year Marwen provides free art courses, college planning, and career development programs to around 900 young people in grades six through twelve from nearly 300 Chicago schools. These rigorous after-school or weekend courses are taught by professional working artists in Marwen’s six state-of-the-art studios. Marwen does not require students to have previous art-making experience, and at the end of each term, students’ work is exhibited in Marwen’s gallery spaces.
