Lollapalooza is helping us close the arts ed gap

Lollapalooza has partnered with Ingenuity to create the Lollapalooza Arts Education Fund!

Their $2.2 million commitment will be distributed through our Creative Schools Fund grant program to deliver quality arts education to 100,000+ students in Chicago Public Schools. Each year, schools rated ‘Developing’ and ‘Emerging’ in the arts will be able to apply for partnerships to expand the arts in their school. Through arts residencies, field trips, and professional learning for teachers, Lollapalooza Arts Education Fund will help bring the city’s rich arts and cultural resources into its public schools.
