Art Resources in Teaching (A.R.T.) is a Chicago-based nonprofit entity with a long history rooted in the city’s social and educational reform movements. Originating in 1894 as The Chicago Public School Art Society, it emerged from Hull-House initiatives and has since pursued broad access to visual arts education for students, particularly those from low-income families. Today, its programs operate through Urban Gateways, continuing to provide arts education experiences to Chicago students and communities, aimed at expanding opportunities for creative engagement in schools. Positioned within the arts and education sector, A.R.T. serves schools and youth by enabling exposure to visual arts and related cultural experiences. Its activities reflect a mission to make art and culture accessible, leveraging partnerships and programmatic expansion over time to reach broader audiences in Chicago. The organization is based in Chicago, Illinois, and has operated for more than a century, maintaining a focus on serving diverse youth through arts education initiatives.
