SOUTH LOOP CENTER FOR THE ARTS

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN

The South Loop Center for the Arts is the FAME Center's bold response to a unique and transformative opportunity. After listening closely to the needs and aspirations of our neighbors and the communities we serve, we are launching a fundraising campaign to secure and remodel a historic building in the heart of Chicago's South Loop.

This campaign is more than just an investment in bricks and mortar; it’s an investment in the future of our community. Guided by our mission to expand access to art education, we are taking decisive action to preserve space for the arts and ensure that it remains a vibrant, inclusive resource for generations to come.

This is your opportunity to help shape the future of the South Loop and be part of a movement that brings art, culture, and community together. Join us in creating a lasting impact and ensuring that the arts remain at the heart of our city’s growth and vitality.
