2019 3Arts Community Award

  • 101% contributed

Each year, we invite people from across Chicago to join us in supporting a $25,000 3Arts Award that will be given to a local artist who is making indispensable contributions to our city. We name this award in honor of YOU, the Chicago community, to show how much we all care about our city’s artists.

When you donate to this campaign, you become a champion of Chicago’s women artists, artists of color, and artists with disabilities who work in the performing, teaching, and visual arts. 3Arts will join you by matching up to 1/3 of the funding goal. 

The recipient of the 2019 Community Award, along with the nine other 2019 awardees, will be announced on November 4 at our annual awards celebration to be held at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago.

About This Project

Each year, ten Chicago artists who reflect our mission receive 3Arts Awards of $25,000, with no strings attached. Artists may use the awards to support new work, pay off debt, purchase equipment, travel, or start a savings account---or however they wish. For most of them, our award is the first they have received.

There is nothing like the feeling of investing directly in the artists who keep the creative engines revving in our city. With this campaign, you can be part of this incredible support for Chicago artists. 

“It is such an honor to receive the 3Arts Community Award. The meaning, the force, and the spirit behind it feel like everything that I strive for in my art and in my life.”

~ Sandra Delgado, 2018 3Arts Community Award recipient

  Posted on May 08, 2019

   

  We're less than one week from our deadline and so close to our goal! Big cheers to everyone who has donated so far. 

  Since 2015, we have recognized four Chicago artists with 3Arts Community Awards: Fawzia Mirza (2015), William Estrada (2016), Ginger Lane (2017), and Sandra Delgado (2018). 

  Thanks to all of you, we will honor another remarkable artist with this community-funded award later this fall. Save the date for November 4 when we will celebrate them and the nine other 3Arts Award recipients!
