Art for Health 2026

Expansion

Friday, October 16 | 6- 10:00 PM
Venue West | 221 N. Paulina, Chicago, IL

Join us this October for our 16th annual Art for Health Benefit, an art-infused fundraising event that celebrates our accomplishments while supporting our future goals. This year’s theme, EXPANSION, honors the growth and significance of our work. Through partnerships with three new communities in the Dominican Republic, we are expanding our reach and deepening our impact. Together, we are exploring new territories, extending access to care, expressing our shared commitment to health equity, and helping ensure that quality healthcare permanently exists where it is needed most. As we continue to grow, we remain committed to empowering communities, strengthening local leadership, and sustaining the impact that has defined our work across the DR and Haiti.

Art for Health is more than a benefit - it’s a tribute. This year, we raise our glass to the last 16 years while looking forward to the next. Enjoy drinks, small plates, raffle prizes and more. The money raised at Art for Health is crucial for planning the year to come, allowing for the maintenance of our current programs and implementation of our goals. With three new partner communities, an expanding surgical program, and new partnerships in Haiti, your support has never been more impactful.

The Art for Health Benefit would not be possible without the support and generosity of our sponsors. See below for a full list of our sponsors and artists.
