10am - 3pm

Malcolm X College1900 W Jackson Blvd, Chicago, IL 60612

Free and Open to the Public (with registration)

After a powerful citywide celebration in 2024, Healing Arts Chicago returns—bringing another healing-centered, artist-led programming year to clinics and community spaces across the city.

This year’s summit will spotlight artists, healers, community health workers, and resource specialists through the community services and care they provide to contribute to wellness and greater social cohesion.

The summit will also feature the 2025 Healing Arts Chicago cohort—a group of multidisciplinary artists trained as Community Health Workers who have spent this year leading creative wellness pop-ups, forging partnerships, and deepening their outreach. Their work centers the needs of people, blending trauma-informed and harm reduction strategies with the power of art, movement, and storytelling.

Expect a full day of artmaking, workshops, performances, dialogue, and networking, designed to make wellness feel more human, more creative, and more connected to community.
