About CWCMC
Mission
Our mission is to harness the creative potential of individuals through education to inspire artistic and cultural expression in such a way that we help foster positive relationships across neighborhood lines.
The activities presented by CWCMC have a unifying effect on the community, as residents from neighboring communities build healthy relationships sharing common interests.
Vision
Our vision is to see an on-going improvement in the economic, intellectual and social condition of the Westside communities within and nearby Chicago through education and training in the arts.
We strive to stimulate the personal and educational growth of the young people in our arts programs so their full potential is within reach. A very important benefit is their newfound sense of purpose, which enables them to make positive life choices.
