Become a Member
Membership has many privileges! Becoming a member of the CAC makes you part of a large and diverse community of artists, arts organizations, and other art professionals working in every visual medium and style.
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 and BOLT Residency; events for emerging and established collectors, through Collectors Circle; discipline-specific resources, advice and essays on CAR: Chicago Artists’ Resource; and special commissions and partnerships across Chicago through Special Projects.
We invite artists, arts patrons and the general public to engage with our programs, exhibitions, and events. All CAC events are either free or deeply discounted for our Members.
