Old Town School of Folk Music Chicago

Fifty-plus-year-old school and venue offers dance, music, and art classes. Live acts like Richie Havens and Glen Hansard in the intimate music hall make for outstanding shows.

Old Town School of Folk Music Kids Chicago

The baby- and toddler-geared Wiggleworms classes are musts for any music-minded clan. From there, segue into kiddie hip-hop, family tap lessons, plus art and theater (try “scribble” classes for young ones and comic book drawing for the 8-12 set).

Lillstreet Art Center Kids Chicago

Awesome combo of artist studio space, cafe, and classrooms, where a plethora of arty classes are available (metalsmithing, jewelry making, screen printing).
