Illiana Artists’ Mission and Vision

Our Mission

Illiana Artists, Inc., an organization of artists helping artists, is dedicated to expanding personal and community horizons through artists growth, exhibition, and demonstrations. Members also strive to promote art awareness and appreciation in the community and to share cultural experiences.

Our Vision

Our goal is to grow as individuals and as a group. We constantly look for new opportunities that will allow us to further develop our talents. We hope our efforts will create an atmosphere of greater love and appreciation of the arts in our community.


We are a not-for-profit 501(c)(3)

By-laws, Articles of Incorporation and Form 1023

Our By-laws, Articles of Incorporation and Form 1023, Application for Recognition of Exemption, are public records and are available for viewing and downloading.

We provide support, fellowship and education to our members. Members are art patrons, educators and artists of all skill levels. Check our calendar for educational activities consisting of lectures, demonstrations, art critiques and other programs.

Members have the opportunity to show their artwork in exhibit locations for free. Our motto is “Artists Helping Artists.” We are currently working towards a mentoring program: experienced artists assist the beginning artists.
