Summer on the Arts Lawn 2026
Arts + Public Life invites you to spend another summer with us on the Arts Lawn—where community, creativity, and good vibes grow strong. This summer, prepare to be captivated by a lineup of programs that builds upon the energy and excitement of our first two years on the Lawn. Whether it’s live jazz with legendary big bands, the creative designs of South Side makers, the peace of sunset yoga or the simple pleasure of an outdoor film screening on a warm summer night, the Arts Lawn offers programs designed to inspire, connect, and showcase the rich artistic tapestry of Chicago’s South Side.
Join us and immerse yourself in a summer where artistic excellence meets community spirit:
