Donate today to help CAC artists’ pandemic recovery

Did you turn to art—painting, music, cinema, etc.—for comfort during the pandemic? CAC has been a lifeline to artists when opportunities dried up at the very same time that we all needed art more than ever.

Don’t turn away from CAC and Chicago artists now—your gift ensures CAC can continue to support artists as the arts continues its pandemic recovery!
