The Art Center Highland Park

Art has the ability to achieve therapeutic effects without actual therapy. Come together as a community to continue healing.

“Art has the ability to achieve therapeutic effects without actual therapy,” advised one trauma therapist just after the incident occurred in Highland Park. Within a couple of weeks after the Highland Park Shooting the Art Center Highland Park hosted three well-attended artmaking events, joining the efforts of so many local organizations that were committed to helping our community heal. Now the healing continues.The Art Center is committed to ongoing arts-related programs to help people continue to heal and come together as a community. TAC has created a long-term agreement with the Lake County organization, Art Impact Project, a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing emotional wellness through creative expression, and one of the groups to assist with the immediate needs in July.This $5 workshop is intended for adolescents to adults. Each 90-minute workshop provides a different project and medium for participants to explore, led by facilitators trained in providing support in a safe and non-judgmental environment.
