Chicago’s world-class cultural organizations increasingly understand that their future depends on expanding their audiences and continuing efforts to connect with the diversity of the city. The Joyce Foundation supports such institutions as they seek to diversify their audiences, programming (notably through the Joyce Awards), leadership, and staff. The following are highlights of recent work on Cultural Access; for a complete list of Cultural Access grants, see program grants list.
