3Arts
3Arts advocates for Chicago's women artists, artists of color, and artists with disabilities who work in the performing, teaching, and visual arts. By providing cash awards, project funding, residency fellowships, professional development, and promotion, 3Arts helps artists take risks, experiment, and build momentum in their careers. It is an artist-centric organization that impels equity in the arts. The organization's work is designed to ensure that artists who are discounted in the mainstream are supported and acknowledged in our region. With the understanding that art moves and mends communities, their investment in artists is an equal investment in the long-term wellbeing of Chicago and the region and in the vitality of our collective creative spirit. Since 2008, 3Arts has distributed $3 million to more than 600 artists.
