Passion. Innovation. Diversity. Connection. Community.
These aren’t just hallmarks of the arts; they’re woven into the very fabric of the College of Lake County and our commitment to offering, “equitable, high-quality education, cultural enrichment, and partnerships to advance the diverse communities we serve.” Within the Communication Arts Division, we champion the belief that the arts have a unique power to reflect, unite, and transform the world by bringing diverse voices and experiences together through shared storytelling and celebration!
This season, we’re thrilled to showcase a rich array of artistic, intellectual, and cultural experiences. Revel in our exceptional music, theatre and dance performances; immerse yourself in art exhibits hosted in the beautiful Wright Community Gallery; explore our dynamic film and literary series; or engage in one of our many free community workshops and events. Each offering underscores the breadth and diversity of talent at CLC and within the wider community we serve. To learn more about our distinguished lineup for the 2023-24 season, please visit jlcenter.clcillinois.edu.
In the coming months, we also invite you to delve into the “Voices of Lake County,” a multi-year, interdisciplinary project spanning the Communication Arts, Fine Arts, and Humanities Division. This year’s theme, Sustainable Lake County, investigates environmentalism and sustainability through the lens of the arts and humanities. We will collaborate across the college and the broader Lake County community to explore how we all can live more sustainable, just, meaningful, and socially conscious lives that preserve our environment while cultivating the diverse communities that make up our region. For more information, visit www.voicesoflakecounty.com/sustainable-lake-county.
Finally, join us in further exploration and discovery by taking one of our many exciting courses in literature, creative writing, communication studies, digital media and design, philosophy, the humanities, world languages, or the vast landscape of visual and performing arts. Whatever your goal—from personal enrichment to earning a certificate or degree—we’d love to play a part in your own story of transformation!
Thank you for coming to the College of Lake County! We are excited you’re here!

We respectfully acknowledge that the College of Lake County is on the ancestral homelands of the Kickapoo, Peoria, Potawatomi and other native peoples. We recognize the longstanding significance of these lands for indigenous peoples past, present and future. Historical awareness of indigenous exclusion and erasure is critically important to preventing further atrocities. The College of Lake County pledges to acknowledge the grave injustices of the past and pledges to create awareness and advance education that invites truth.
