the Oak Park Art League offers Family stARTs, a free, drop in youth art making opportunity twice a month for families to create together. The sessions are scheduled on second and fourth Saturdays of each month from 10am - noon. We invite a variety of guest artists to bring different techniques and ideas to these sessions.

We offer our ongoing Family stARTs program but have also been partnering with St. Angela School in the Austin neighborhood of Chicago for three years. With generous sponsorship from the Mammel Family Foundation, OPAL is able to facilitate a visiting art instructor to provide art classes and activities to 190 underserved elementary and high school youth per week.
