Print Magazine: Shining a Spotlight on Chicago’s BIPOC Cultural Treasures
March 25, 2024
Print Magazine recently interviewed Tara Townsend, president of IFF’s Social Impact Accelerator, the department that oversees administration of Chicago’s Cultural Treasures. In the interview, Tara highlighted the initiative’s focus on advancing race equity in Chicago’s arts and culture scene.
“By design, ChiTreasures was not a standard grantmaking initiative. It was a race equity initiative for Chicago’s arts and culture sector,” she said. “Our hope is that the initiative’s collective impact will be the ongoing disruption of historical trends in funding for BIPOC-led and -focused cultural organizations as anchors in equitable community development.”
