    Jennifer O'Connor taught art classes at a nonprofit community art center located in a working class neighborhood on the south side of Chicago. The center offered classes in visual art, dance, music, and theatre, as well as an outreach program providing art education to local schools. O'Connor also started a preschool of the arts program and helped run the center's gallery, which showcased works from both established and student artists. The center supported additional programs for adults with intellectual disabilities and showed works by local artist Kenny Williams, who draws idealized versions of dilapidated areas of Chicago. O'Connor notes that working for a nonprofit art center can be both difficult and draining but also highly rewarding.
