The Community *

The Community is a year-long artist residency program offering rent-free, non-residential studio space in partnership with a not-for-profit organization. By activating underused spaces, it supports the creation of new work and public art that advance equity through inclusive design. Beginning with a cohort of visual artists, the program will grow into a cultural space subsidy initiative, providing studios at below-market rates to creators whose work delivers social benefit to Chicago. Both efforts strengthen and sustain the city’s creative community.

The Cultural Stadium programming will draw kids from all Chicago neighborhoods into the heart of downtown where creativity becomes a common language, and shared experiences bridge the divides of income, opportunity, and background.
