About Us

ARTEMPLE is a not-for-profit community arts center envisioned to serve Chicago's South/East side. Planned for 9546 S. Ewing Ave. -- the historic St. George church complex -- ARTEMPLE aims to create a safe haven and beacon of hope, building creative community and transforming lives through art.

The property is slated for purchase and renovation, marking the beginning of a journey toward realizing this vibrant community space.
