Founded in 1975 by Bruce Robbins, Lillstreet Art Center later expanded when Robbins, in partnership with Martin Cohen, bought a former horse stable at 1021 W. Lill in Lincoln Park. The center operates in a 40,000 sq. ft. facility with 20 classrooms that accommodate over 2000 students each session. Lillstreet Art Center offers classes and workshops in Ceramics, Metalsmithing & Jewelry, Textiles, Printmaking & Book Arts, and Drawing & Painting, and the Kidstreet program is one part of this larger art school, gallery, and studio space. The organization states that it strives to provide a creative retreat, foster a community where artists of all backgrounds, ages, and skill levels can learn together, and maintain a Zero Tolerance Policy for Discrimination and Harassment. It runs an annual Artist-in-Residence program for emerging to mid-career artists, along with Scholarship Programs and a Free Visiting Artist Program. A portion of its profits goes to local organizations in Chicago that support humanitarian causes each month.
