Several Chicago arts organizations are creating a Chicago Performing Arts Virtual Retreat on Wednesday, April 8, from 10:30am to 2pm. The purpose: to bring together performers and administrators to address their shared concerns and challenges during the seismic shift brought about by the COVID-19 crisis.
This is a free event open to everyone involved in the Chicago performing arts community. Register here. You can participate via video conferencing technology using a Mac, PC, iOS or Android mobile device.
The retreat’s producers are Chicago Dancemakers Forum, the Dance Center of Columbia College Chicago, Harris Theater for Music and Dance, High Concept Labs, Links Hall, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Pivot Arts, and See Chicago Dance.
