Our newly expanded Board will be focused on executing upon A&BC’s strategic plan, with specific emphasis on ensuring programs continue to be relevant to the diverse communities and creatives we serve.

Post-pandemic, there is even more of a need to support the arts and arts organizations which significantly contribute to Chicago’s cultural fabric and economy, and A&BC has a part to play in driving this effort.
