Professional Development

Supporting Artists & Curators

CAC’s Professional Development Series addresses topics critical to professional artists beyond the act of making art. Open to the public and rooted in our core values of knowledge-sharing and community-building, these 90-minute workshops include an additional 30 minutes of conversation with participants.

Chicago Artists Coalition’s professional development programs are designed for artists at all stages of their careers, from emerging practitioners to established professionals. Our workshops are open to artists working across disciplines, including visual art, photography, design, writing, performance, and interdisciplinary practices.

Our workshops will be offered in a hybrid format, allowing participants to attend either in person at Chicago Artists Coalition, located at 2130 W Fulton St, Chicago, IL 60612, or remotely via Zoom. Registration is required for all attendees, and Zoom access information will be provided to registered participants prior to the event.

Professional development events are $10 for the general public, $5 for CAC Alumni, and free for current Chicago Artists Coalition residents.
