Cooperative Image Group is a non-profit interdisciplinary arts
education and social entrepreneurship organization that facilitates
programs with youth ages 6-21. Located in Humboldt Park, Co-op Image works with over 700 youth per year out of its Corner Art Center and approximately 400 additional community members through a number of satellite projects. What began as an artist's apprenticeship that brought high school students and artists together to effect social change through civically engaged public art, has now turned into a multi-faceted neighborhood hub for youth led initiatives, social entrepreneurship ventures, creative community partnerships, beautification projects and safe space for creative expression and free thought.

The programs Co-op Image creates include the production of a cooking show aired on CAN-TV, a screen-printing and design business, an audio/visual recording studio, mural painting, glass sculpting, documentary film-making and more.
