Founded in 1978 by artists Joanna Pinsky, Ellen Kamerling, and Bonnie Hartenstein, Art Encounter aims to make art accessible and essential to lifelong learning. The founders developed a unique, interactive discussion method that encourages viewers to explore artistic concepts through personal perception, laying the groundwork for all future programming.
Art Encounter serves diverse communities across the greater Chicago area through three main pillars: free educational outreach programs for underserved populations, engaging public programs for art enthusiasts, and the transformative Evanston Mural Arts Program that revitalizes public spaces.
Art Encounter believes in the power of art as a tool for social justice, ensuring that everyone has access to artistic experiences. Donations support our mission to provide free programs and outreach, making art accessible to all.
