Raue Center for the Arts is excited to announce that they’ve received a Healing Illinois grant! Healing IL is a statewide initiative of the Illinois Department of Human Services in partnership with The Chicago Community Trust. Funds will support our new series, Our Voices, Our Town. Through this grant, Raue Center joins 86 other groups in taking bold steps to healing. 

As a Healing Illinois grantee, we’re excited to create community-centered, inclusive and safe spaces to talk, learn and grow through Our Voices, Our Town. This brand new monthly community engagement series is aimed at engaging the community by presenting the work of artists, local community leaders, and national activists as they explore racial justice through the medium of the arts. 

The first installment features comedians, John DaCosse and Kevin Bozeman; they will explore Bozeman’s career in comedy, his family, and the state of racial tensions in the U.S. and will be available on February 1st, 2021. 

Look for a new installment on the first of every month!
