The 18th annual Chicago Artists Month (CAM) is a marketing initiative of the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE) that showcases the work of Chicago’s independent artists and arts organizations; highlights arts activity in Chicago neighborhoods; drives tourism; encourages collaboration and provides opportunities for creative expression and education for Chicagoans and visitors alike. Last year over 250 events were part of Chicago Artists Month, reaching an audience of over 100,000. CAM is a great way to diversity your audience and embark on new collaborations.
CAM is an open call that welcomes event submissions that:
+ Feature one or more Chicago-based artists
+ Take place in October at a public venue in Chicago
