alliance Programs
We strive to cultivate a city where all communities have a voice, where cross-cultural dialogue and collaboration are an integral part of Chicago’s civic fabric.
The Chicago Cultural Alliance works closely with our members, the City of Chicago and the community to curate programming that elevates the voices of the diverse cultures present throughout the city. Our programs are as diverse as our communities, including recurring cultural celebrations, public collaborative projects and programs designed specifically to benefit our core member organizations.
