About
CAC is committed to building a diverse community of artistic leaders who define the place of art & artists in our city's culture & economy. We do this by providing residencies, education, exhibitions, & other opportunities for artists & the arts community.
Over 40 years ago, CAC began as a small group of artists advocating for rights, support and visibility in the city’s cultural landscape and economy. Small in size but mighty in impact, CAC has evolved and grown to meet the needs of Chicago’s artists, launching its groundbreaking residencies and professional development programs. CAC was the first to offer a residency with a curatorial component (HATCH Projects) and is still one of the only residency programs that offer onsite studio space and a guarantee of a solo exhibition to its 10 BOLT residents. Since then, 60 BOLT artists have had solo shows, 288 HATCH artists have participated in group shows, 2,950 artists have participated in professional development programs, and 24 curators have further developed their exhibition making skills.
