Community Partnerships
Ravinia Uses the Arts to Invigorate Communities
Since 1998 Ravinia has partnered with the entire neighborhood of Lawndale, transforming a culturally underserved area into a thriving arts center. Children, adults, even entire families take lessons at the Ravinia Lawndale Community Music Conservatory.
Hundreds of residents enjoy free community concerts in neighborhood parks, and thousands of residents attend Ravinia concerts. Other neighborhood partnerships are emerging through our work in schools.
