Waukegan Arts & Laughs Collective

Enter the vibrant realm of the Waukegan Arts & Laughs Collective, where creativity collides with comedy, and laughter rings louder than the sound of train whistles! Here in Waukegan, we may not have a Broadway stage (yet), but we’ve got a burgeoning community of artists, performers, and the occasional rubber chicken enthusiast that can bring life to the local scene. We celebrate the rich cultural tapestry of our neighborhood, from mural walkabouts to community improv sessions at local cafés. Experience the thrill of open mic nights where you can either recite a Shakespearean sonnet or a deeply philosophical piece about tacos—no pressure! Each gathering is an ode to Waukegan's artistic spirit, with open-minded folks who believe that art and humor should be as accessible as the local pizza joint. Come, share, laugh, draw, and maybe even discover the hidden poet lurking inside you, all while sipping coffee stronger than a caffeinated polar bear. We meet every first Saturday of the month. Wear something you aren't afraid to get paint on; we’re unapologetically messy!
