Beverly Art Center

South Side's multidisciplinary arts home since 1967

The Beverly Arts Center is a community arts institution in Chicago's Beverly/Morgan Park neighborhood, offering instruction across five disciplines under one roof: dance, visual arts, music, film, and theater. Nearly 60 years in, it's one of the steadier small-scale arts venues on the South Side.

Kids classes and camps

Year-round classes plus a Summer Arts Camp for ages 5-14 cover visual arts, performing arts, and music. Classes include:
- Visual arts studio classes
- Dance (ballet, modern, hip-hop)
- Music lessons (piano, voice, strings)
- Theater and acting
- Summer Arts Camp (ages 5-14)

What's Included

• All basic art supplies provided in studio classes
• Professional teaching artists
• Small group sizes by age
• Student showcases and gallery exhibitions throughout the year

Experience

The facility hosts both classes and public programming (concerts, exhibits, film), so kids studying there also get exposure to finished work happening on the same campus. A good fit for families wanting a breadth-first introduction to the arts.
