Hyde Park Art Center announces the second phase of Artists Run Chicago Fund, a new regranting initiative providing more than half a million dollars ($560,000) to offer unrestricted COVID relief for Chicago’s artist community. Taking place in two phases, the first phase in March granted awards of $8,000 to each of the 50 independent artist-run spaces that participated in the Art Center’s popular 2020 exhibition, Artists Run Chicago 2.0 (ARC 2.0). Now, an additional 20 Chicago artist-run spaces that applied for the second phase are receiving grants of $8,000. The Artists Run Chicago Fund initiative is being funded by an anonymous donor and is being fully administered by Hyde Park Art Center.  A few of the this year’s second phase recipients include: alt_ exchange, Chicago Artist Writers, Concerned Black Image Makers, Defibrillator Gallery, Englewood Arts Collective, Filmfront, GnarWare Workshop, in c/o: Black women, LevelUP IRL, SIN CINTA PREVIA, The Weaving Mill, and Produce Model.
