Center for Community Arts Partnerships

The Center for Community Arts Partnerships, which is part of Columbia College Chicago, creates and nurtures arts partnerships in the community. Through its Project AIM, teaching artists and classroom teachers create curriculum that draws on dance, theater, poetry, music, and visual arts to teach academic subjects like math, science and literacy. Through the project, 20 teaching artists are paired with 36 teachers to reach more than 1,000 students across schools in North Lawndale, Cabrini Green, Humboldt Park, Logan Square, West Town and South Evanston.
