FAME's Vision Expands: A New 56,000+ Sq Ft Home for Creativity!

The South Loop Center for the Arts (SLCA) is a cornerstone of youth development and creative exploration, serving as the largest arts center on the South Side. With this new development, our goal is to serve underrepresented youth on the South and West Sides by providing equitable access to high-quality arts education, fostering creative expression, and empowering young people to imagine and pursue brighter futures.

“I’ve stayed at FAME because Ms. Sheila made me feel welcome in her company and she’s always there for me. Her teaching was also excelling me in piano and even other things outside of piano.”
