Cook County Arts

Service Information

 

ABOUT THE INITIATIVE

Cook County Arts is a pilot initiative of the Bureau of Economic Development made possible by $5 million in American Rescue Plan funding. Cook County Arts will provide recovery support for artists and nonprofit arts and culture organizations while investing resources to strengthen the suburban arts sector long-term. 

Cook County Arts Nonprofit Relief Grants 

Cook County Arts Nonprofit Relief Grants will provide up to $1.5 million in unrestricted relief grants to nonprofit organizations located in suburban Cook County. 

The arts and culture sector was among the hardest-hit industries in the COVID-19 pandemic, and organizations face significant ongoing challenges due to changing operational needs and declines in both earned and contributed revenue. Providing needed relief to arts and culture organizations will help ensure these vital community assets thrive in the post-pandemic economy.
