Visual—Performance—Music—Written—Dance. Arts flourish at Wolcott. Arts clubs offer membership and space to those who desire to create visual, performance, and written expression. Students taking any of our arts electives during the school day often collaborate with students participating in after school clubs. Art, Dance, Instrumental Music, Theatre, and Music Production/Engineering, Poetry, and We All Live Here are parts of our Arts club offerings.

Explore Your Creative Potential

Our vibrant arts community offers students multiple opportunities to showcase their talents throughout the year. Join us for our Winter and Spring Showcases, where students from Visual Arts, Instrumental Music, Voice Ensemble, Poetry Club, Media Studies, and Theater present their curated works.

Students learn directly from working professionals. Our faculty are practicing creatives, and we regularly bring in guest artists from across disciplines to lead master classes and workshops, giving students real-world insights into their craft.

What to Expect

Participation in our performing arts clubs requires dedication. Members commit to regular rehearsals throughout the school year and intensive preparation periods leading up to showcases. This commitment helps students develop discipline, collaboration skills, and artistic excellence.

Enjoying Chicago’s Culture

Exploring Chicago and its many cultural treasures is a regular part of our student life experience. Chicago’s art scene is as expansive as our students’ imaginations. Visits to museums, galleries, performances, and studios are part of the fabric of the curriculum.
