CHICAGO (AP) â A Chicago nonprofit formed to highlight the lack of leaders of color within the city s arts and cultural systems is asking artists of color to imagine what the nation s third-largest city could look like without stubborn inequities in art, theater and other institutions.
The first phase of Enrich Chicago s new program, called Imagine Just, begins this month. The series of brainstorming sessions will ask artists, performers and other Chicagoans to imagine what an equitable arts and cultural scene could look like.
Nina Sánchez, co-director of Enrich Chicago, sees the project as an expansion of the organization s focus on anti-racism training and education within Chicago s arts and cultural community.
