The Chicago Artists Coalition offers three remaining panel discussions!

“The Impact of Chicago's Ethnic Communities on the City's Contemporary Art"

The Chicago Artists’ Coalition is proud to present five innovative panel discussions about the contributions that Chicago’s many ethnic groups have made to the city’s contemporary art. Through historical analysis, curators, art historians, and artists representing the four major population groups of Chicago (African-American, Latino, European, and Asian) will provide interesting perspectives on the development of Chicago’s cultural community.

This program is made possible in part by a grant from the Illinois Humanities Council, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Illinois General Assembly, and will be hosted by various institutions throughout the city.
