Innovation 80 encourages and funds innovative programs that use the arts to engage and support underserved populations in Chicago. We act as a catalyst to foster arts-based programs that build life skills, including self-confidence, creativity, teamwork and persistence.

Surviving the Pandemic

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a tsunami-like impact on small arts organizations that support under-served populations. Natural disasters often evoke an immediate response that dissipates long before the damage is repaired. 

The impact of this pandemic will not end with vaccines. The struggle to survive, rebuild and move forward for these small arts organizations will go on.

The arts enrich our lives. It’s critical in this challenging time to support small arts organizations, especially those working with underserved populations so that not only our bodies but our minds and souls survive the pandemic.
