2wenty 5ive: Birthday Party & Book Launch

WE’RE TURNING 25!

Join us in kicking off our silver anniversary at Arts of Life’s 25th Birthday Party!

This event marks the launch of our new book, 2wenty 5ive – Arts of Life 2000-2025, a retrospective that highlights our role in the progressive art studio movement in supporting artists with disabilities. 

Guest of Honor Cindy Shanker will join us as we celebrate her commitment to our community.

We’re looking forward to gathering with current and former artists, families, staff, volunteers, and supporters in celebrating the past quarter century and what is to come!

This is a ticketed event and includes a meal. The party takes place at the Seven Star Venue Space located in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago. We encourage you to dress festively!
