Parcours de location communautaire et culturel – Centre culturel de Chicago

The Cultural Community Rental Path, administered by the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE) at the Chicago Cultural Center, offers artists and arts organizations a reduced room rental rate and waived standard equipment fees for free, public events. Eligible projects must be non‑ticketed, free to attend, have no catering or alcohol, be open to the public, and be scheduled at least 12 weeks in advance. Applicants must be based in Chicago. Applications are submitted via an online SurveyMonkey form and are reviewed during the first week of each month. If the contract is finalized eight weeks before the event and materials are provided, the event may be added to the Center’s web calendar and lobby screens, though no additional marketing support is guaranteed. This program provides space and equipment cost reductions, helping artists present community‑focused events without financial barriers.
