In collaboration with Arts Alliance Illinois

We're excited to participate in Arts Alliance Illinois’ Illinois Creative Future Roadshow, which is coming to College of Lake County on Friday, Oct. 2! The Illinois Creative Future Roadshow will bring together arts organizations from around Lake County to discuss a vital question: What's next for the arts & culture in Illinois?

Join us on for a collaborative conversation about investing in Illinois' creative future. This isn't a presentation followed by a listening session. It's a working session designed to get people talking, thinking, and building together. We'll kick things off with insights from the new Creative Economy of Chicago and Illinois: Impact and Assets reports, but the conversation is driven by the people in the room. Your ideas and experiences will help shape future advocacy and support for creative communities across Illinois.

Whether you're an artist, creative worker, nonprofit leader, educator, entrepreneur, elected official, or simply someone who cares about your community, we'd love to see you there.
