Ruth’s Circle is the Hyde Park Art Center’s select group of major supporters who enjoy exclusive events throughout the year. Circle members get the best of both worlds: having a major impact on a dynamic institution and a fun opportunity to get an insider’s peek at Chicago’s vibrant visual arts community. And with the move to our new home, we’ve introduced another donor level, Creative Leaders. Call the Art Center to find out more about both of these exciting groups!
