Our cultural institutions provide a foundation for learning and exploration that helps shape our intellect and identity. Chicago’s museum canon was instrumental to our childhood—with weekends spent stepping through the giant model heart, imagining the tiny underwater worlds, hiding-and-seeking in the arms and armor, and barnstorming on the wings of a 1917 Jenny. Our gratitude is best expressed by supporting our city’s cultural institutions so that they can continue to bring thought-provoking exhibitions and performances to future generations. We value organizations using art to explore and advance environmental, cultural, and human rights issues while bringing overlooked artists to the forefront.
