We want to hear from you!

The City of Chicago's Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE) and Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities (MOPD) has launched the first Artist in Residence at the Central West Center located at 2102 W Ogden Avenue. This project is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts.

We want to capture feedback from the Chicago community of adult people living with disabilities regarding what arts and culture programs they want to see and/or participate in and how MOPD and DCASE can make cultural programming accessible and accommodating as possible at the Central West Center.
