What does an arts-driven city look like, and how can citizens, artists and cultural institutions play a role in fostering this future? What everyday practices and city-wide policies are required to both sustain artistic activity and ensure equitable access to the arts across Chicago? Join Meida McNeal, Director of Honey Pot Performance, Tempestt Hazel Director of Sixty Inches From Center, and Todd Palmer of Chicago Architecture Biennial, for a free panel discussion. Tracie D. Hall, Director of Culture Program at The Joyce Foundation, will moderate.

The Richard Gray Program recognizes a significant gift from founding CHF board member Richard Gray. This program is presented with the generous support of the Terra Foundation for American Art, and in partnership with the Joyce Foundation, Lake Forest College, and the Metropolitan Planning Council.
