WVON Morning Show with Rufus Williams: Interview with Coco Elysses (President/Chair, Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians) and Molly Bartels Roth (Manager of Capacity Building Programs, IFF)
On Tuesday, March 5, Rufus Williams, host of the Morning Show on WVON 1690AM, spoke with Coco Elysses from the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) and Molly Bartels Roth from IFF about Chicago’s Cultural Treasures.
During the interview, Coco highlighted the work that she and AACM have been doing, as well as the value the organization has drawn from its involvement in Chicago’s Cultural Treasures. “Although there are a lot of organizations like us in different genres that provide such rich cultural content for the communities, when it comes to getting funding, we’re low on the totem pole,” she said. “So the Chicago’s Cultural Treasures grant was a wonderful, wonderful blessing to come at the time to our organization.”
