Chicago Urban Art Retreat Center

Last Updated September 8, 2026

Chicago Urban Art Retreat Center (CUARC) is organized to provide a safe space for people who are different from each other to come together and learn from each other. This non-profit was created to provide support and positive opportunities for underrepresented people in an environment that strives to be multicultural. CUARC urges its volunteers, program participants, and people, in general, to examine social justice issues, learn from them, and apply that knowledge to decreasing sexism, racism, classism, homophobia, ableism, ageism, and other oppressions.
