ABOUT US
OH Art Foundation celebrates diversity through accessible, cross-cultural and intergenerational art and cultural programs that connect artists, youth, and communities across generations. We amplify underrepresented voices and foster deeper cultural understanding through shared creative experiences.
Founded in 2013 by artist and educator InJung Oh, OHAF is a Chicago-based nonprofit rooted on the South Side and guided by the belief: We serve community. We celebrate diversity.
As an art accelerator, OHAF creates a dynamic model that connects art, community, and cross-sector partners. By highlighting diverse creatives as cultural “cross-pollinators,” we foster collaboration, exchange, and innovative cultural production. Through education, exhibitions, and festivals, we build inclusive, community-driven spaces that reflect lived experiences.
OUR MISSION + VISION
Our Mission
To strengthen communities through an interconnected ecosystem of accessible arts education, professional exhibitions, and intercultural programs. By connecting artists, youth, and local partners, we create "full-circle" spaces for dialogue and creative learning that amplify underrepresented voices and center lived experience.
Our Vision: The "Open Horizon"
OH Art Foundation envisions a vibrant and inclusive cultural landscape where every community member has access to meaningful artistic experiences and diverse voices are celebrated across generations.
Rooted in the concept of the "Open Horizon," we inspire individuals to expand their creative perspectives by engaging with art from diverse traditions. By fostering the courage to explore beyond familiar boundaries, we empower communities to dismantle barriers, deepen mutual understanding, and imagine new possibilities—contributing to a more connected, compassionate, and equitable world.
"Open your horizons and give a creative bounce to your life."
-InJung Oh, Founder.
