COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

NOT FOR PROFIT IMPACT

Restorative Expressive Arts Corp (REAC), the nonprofit sister organization to Expressive Arts Services, was founded to extend the mission of providing free and accessible therapeutic arts to underserved communities, particularly in Chicago’s Roseland community, South Cook County neighborhoods, and beyond.

Our Mission: 

Restorative Expressive Arts Corp is dedicated to fostering a resilient and compassionate community through innovative arts and agricultural initiatives. We are committed to empowering individuals of all ages by providing creative outlets that promote self-expression, healing, and personal growth. Our programs are designed to build a sense of collective responsibility, enhance empathy, and strengthen social bonds. By integrating the arts with sustainable agricultural practices, we aim to cultivate both the land and the human spirit, creating spaces where creativity and community thrive together.

Our Vision:  

We envision a harmonious and thriving community where the arts and agriculture unite to nurture empathy, accountability, and sustainable growth. We aspire to create a future where every individual is empowered to express themselves, connect with others, and contribute to a resilient, compassionate society. Through our work, we aim to create a world where creativity and stewardship of the earth inspire positive social change and collective well-being.
