About Brickton Art Center
Brickton Art Center provides the art therapists for Sally's Studio and has been instrumental in our creation.
Established in 1997, Brickton takes pride in providing the greater Chicago and Northwest suburban region with year-round fine arts classes, supporting and promoting artists through free professional art exhibitions and bringing the arts to community groups and underserved populations. Special programs, lectures, workshops and our newsletter foster Brickton's mission to support and enhance art education, art appreciation, and opportunities for artistic expression, thereby enriching the quality of life for people of all ages.
Prior to 1873, the community of Park Ridge, Illinois was named Brickton, where a large brick making facility stood just north of the uptown shopping area. The name Brickton gives a historical perspective as we look toward the future. The Art Center operates with an Executive Director and a Board of Directors. Many volunteer opportunities are available for interested persons. Brickton Art is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and all contributions are tax deductible to the extent provided by IRS guidelines. Brickton Art Center draws operating funds through memberships, class revenue, donations, grants, and fundraising. With your help Brickton Art Center will continue to provide:
Through our various fine art programs, Brickton Art Center annually serves over 6,000 patrons ages 2 years through adults, including art professionals, students, appreciators, and civic groups. All programs and gallery exhibitions are open to the general public. Brickton is currently the only art center providing a variety of fine art opportunities to residents of Park Ridge and the greater Northwest Chicago Region.
