Arts and culture are fundamental components of healthy communities,
providing social, educational and economic benefits that shape people’s
lives and neighborhoods.
Despite contributing value to all communities,
access to arts and culture is unevenly distributed
throughout Chicago. While nearly 80 percent of
Chicagoans believe arts and culture improve
neighborhood vitality, only half of residents
believe arts and cultural activities are available
where they live, according to a recent Chicago
Community Trust survey. Financial support for
arts and culture organizations in Chicago is also uneven, with organizations led by people of color
receiving half the grant funding that majority white
entities typically receive, according to a report from
ENRICH Chicago and Heartland Alliance.
The Arts & Culture pillar’s goals are intended to
improve access to cultural opportunities citywide,
help make Chicago a place where working artists
and creative sector workers can earn a living
wage and build successful careers, and increase
awareness and appreciation for the city’s diverse
cultural traditions, organizations, and artists.
