Chicago Artists’ Coalition produces events throughout the year that provide vital professional development, through A.B.C. – Art.Business.Create.; exhibition and studio residencies, through HATCH Projects, 1562 Studio at the Merchandise, BOLT Residency and Member Spotlight; events for emerging and established collectors, through Collectors’ Circle; and collaborations and audience development throughout Chicago through Special Programs. We invite artists, arts patrons and the general public to engage with our programs, openings, and events. All CAC events are either free or deeply discounted for our Members.
