Founded in June of 2024, Kankakee Arts CoLAB is the vision of a group of community members that desire art and music opportunities in Kankakee. We want to open doors, open hearts, and open conversations about creativity. We are passionate about how the arts shape culture. We believe that exposure to the arts creates this openess.
