As Chicagoans, we live in one of the world’s great cities. The Windy City has outgrown its second status and stands proudly on its own. Our vibrant cultural life is growing each year, partly due to artists migrating here from the cities of the coasts. They are attracted by an expanding arts scene set in a more livable urban community. It’s an exciting time!

Cultural Chicago is an online home for the cultural community in Chicago; a way to use the Web to connect people, places, and experience offline. Our goal is to give you the tools to make the most of what the city offers. With a strong focus on the arts, we still intend to address the culture of work, politics, leisure … the culture of everyday life. Contact us with suggestions. Enjoy the range of site features as we evolve.
