The vision of FAME Center is to create an environment where all of today's youth have the opportunity to thrive and contribute to tomorrow's world. Fame Center’s mission statement is to provide equitable access to arts education so that the next generation has creative tools to uncover their potential and imagine their futures. We work towards these ends by providing music and arts education for students of all ages, and all socio-economic backgrounds.
The FAME Center was established as a 501(c)(3) in 2018 to directly confront the lack of accessibility to music and fine arts education in underserved Chicago communities. It works to foster creativity by providing transformative education through creative engagement resulting in the growth of the human spirit through the arts. The FAME Center offers fine arts education through music lessons, digital and visual art, photography, graphic design, computer coding classes, musical theatre and drama classes, and creative writing classes. The South Loop location hosts private, group lessons, and a summer camp, while additional outreach group classes and workshops are provided to partner schools and other organizations in various South and West side neighborhoods. What sets FAME aside from other arts education organizations is its focus on encouraging students to try all arts so they can have the space and freedom to understand where their creativity comes from, and thus better tapping into pathways that lead to empathy, innovation, confidence, and community.
