Tell the candidates for mayor that the arts matter. Sign the petition today.
Chicago is home to a powerful arts industry that generates more than $2 billion in economic activity and employs more than 150,000 people annually. Yet, the arts infrastructure in Chicago is vulnerable. Recently, there have been lay-offs at the Department of Cultural Affairs, cuts to the CityArts grant program, and proposals to privatize the Blues and Jazz Festivals among others.
If you value the arts in Chicago, please make your voice heard. Tell the candidates that the arts matter. Sign the petition today at
