About

ABOUT US

OH Art Foundation (OHAF) is a Chicago-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit rooted at the Zhou B Art Center in Bridgeport. We are dedicated to strengthening the social fabric of our communities through an integrated ecosystem of arts education, professional exhibitions, and intergenerational cultural programs. Grounded in the belief that art is a universal connector, we maintain a "full-circle" organizational structure where creative learning, professional practice, and public celebration support and sustain one another.

 

Recognized as a leading organization by Culture Forward Chicago for our contributions to the history and culture of communities of color, OHAF is committed to creating accessible, non-traditional spaces. Our mission is activated through a year-round cycle of cross-cultural exchange that begins with our foundational art programs—serving as an entry point for creative dialogue—and expands into curated exhibitions. These efforts culminate in our signature public festivals, including the Black History, Asian Pacific American, and Latinx Festivals of the Arts, providing a high-impact platform where community stories are celebrated in the public square.

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.
