We’re thrilled to share that Journey Chicago was recently featured on WGN’s Spotlight Chicago, offering viewers an inside look at how cultural collaboration continues to thrive across our city. This special segment spotlighted the work of the Chicago Cultural Alliance (CCA) and one of our amazing Core Members, the Heritage Museum of Asian Art.
The segment featured insightful interviews with Mónica Félix, Executive Director of the Chicago Cultural Alliance, and Ji Yang, Associate Director of the Heritage Museum of Asian Art. Both leaders spoke passionately about the goals of Journey Chicago—bringing communities together through culture, heritage, and dialogue—and how these partnerships are building a more connected and inclusive Chicago.
A highlight of the segment was a beautiful live demonstration by artist Mami Takahashi, presented by the Heritage Museum of Asian Art. Her performance offered viewers a meaningful glimpse into traditional Asian artistry and its continued relevance and beauty today. Behind the scenes, David Carling, CCA’s Design & Marketing Manager, supported the production by assisting with set-up and coordination for the demonstration.
We are so grateful to WGN for the opportunity to share our story and amplify the voices of the incredible artists, organizations, and cultural leaders who make Journey Chicago possible.
