Personally, the Chicago Cultural Alliance has opened my mind and changed the way Trickster Cultural Center implements programs and shares our beautiful space with other cultures and conducts partnerships for cultural education.

Core Members are centers of cultural heritage, cultural museums, and historical societies. They are First-Voice, community-driven organizations that preserve a specific cultural perspective, experience, and living history either through programs, exhibits, or collections work.
Partner Members are diverse educational, civic, and cultural organizations who support the Alliance’s mission of creating greater cultural inclusion in Chicago and have a vested interest in collaborating with Chicago’s diverse centers of heritage. Partners do not usually represent one specific culture but a broad range of groups, and will invest resources to help cultural vibrancy flourish in the Chicago region.
