Virginia Wadsworth Wirtz Center for the Performing and Media Arts in Chicago (Wirtz Center Chicago)

Museum of Becoming is inviting a small group of Chicagoans to experience the first beta of a new facilitated group arts experience at Wirtz Center Chicago at Northwestern University in Streeterville.
The experience combines facilitated arts-wellness exercises with structured opportunities for social connection and reflection. Participants will have the chance to explore something that matters to them personally, take one meaningful step toward it, and connect with other participants in small groups.
The experience is coordinated by a professional trained in art therapy. Museum of Becoming is an arts and wellness experience and is not therapy or mental-health treatment.
Because this is our first beta, we’re inviting a limited number of participants to help us test and refine the experience. We’ll ask for genuine feedback afterward and will also request permission to take photos and video during the event.
Museum of Becoming: First-Look Beta
📍 Wirtz Center Chicago at Northwestern University — Streeterville 📅 November 1, 2026 ⏰ 10:15 AM–1:00 PM 🎟 Free • Optional pay-what-you-wish contribution • Invite-only
Participation is free, but space is limited. Expressing interest does not guarantee admission; selected participants will receive a separate invitation and confirmation.
