Score Values 670AM: Kenya Thomas (eta Creative Arts Foundation) and Vickie Lakes-Battle (IFF) discuss ChiTreasures
March 11, 2024
Kenya Thomas, executive director of eta Creative Arts Foundation and Vickie Lakes-Battle, executive director of IFF’s Chicago Metro Region, spoke about Chicago’s Cultural Treasures in an interview on Score Values 670AM.
“If I have to be extremely transparent, if Chicago’s Cultural Treasures had not happened, I don’t think eta would still be here right now, or I don’t know where we would be right now,” said Kenya. “It really helped us to be able to bring back our programming. We were really at a point where we didn’t know how we were going to make payroll that week — and we got the phone call. So it has been extremely instrumental.”
