BRIDGE Announces Support from the Illinois Art Council

Founded in 1965, the council receives and disperses private donations throughout the art community and the general public. It is also responsible for developing Illinois’ public arts policy and fostering culturally diverse programs. In the 2025 fiscal year alone, the IAC awarded over 1,000 grants totaling more than $22 million.

BRIDGE is honored and humbled to be supported by such an esteemed organization, and we’re incredibly grateful for the council’s support.
