Values & Ethic of Care
At OSP, we believe in providing therapeutic and stimulating programming that combines the art-making process with writing, resulting in healthy expression of emotions, better decision making, and mental clarity.
We believe that art can change everything.
OSP Values
The values of Open Studio Project are what guides us to make the creative impact decisions that we make every day. Internally, OSP uses these values every day to create goals and find areas of improvement. We also make these values public so that you may see where your personal values, goals, and asperations may line up with ours.





Ethic of Care
SEL Statement
OSP has developed a process-oriented approach to meet with Illinois SEL and visual arts standards that support students’ emotional health and well- being. It is one of the first art-based organizations in Illinois to develop an evidence-based social and emotional learning curriculum that incorporates a creative methodology and meets SEL and visual arts goals for all students, including those with communication disorders, autism, and special needs.
