Hyde Park Art Center is assembling a group of advocates who will support its Artist Development Programs. The group has three goals:
- Increase visibility of the Art Center’s exhibitions, residencies and professional development programs in Chicago and nationwide.
- Improve the collective understanding of contemporary art in Chicago.
- Raise financial support for the programs through a “give/get” approach that will ensure the Art Center can continue to deliver these career-changing programs while deepening their impact.
