PARTNERSHIP WITH THE LOGAN CENTER

Community Cultural Arts Partnership (CCAP)

Since opening in 2012, the Logan Center has worked in partnership with hundreds of artists and cultural organizations to cultivate connections between The University of Chicago, its surrounding communities, and the broader City of Chicago. Each year, we host hundreds of public events, performances, and exhibitions; provide youth and adult education programs; and offer spaces for creative and social gatherings. Much of this work is done by developing meaningful, mutually beneficial partnerships with individual artists and cultural organizations.

The Logan Center is proud to be a platform for a wide range of partners who represent the rich cultural history and vitality of the city of Chicago and especially the South Side. These partnerships are critical to our mission of providing thoughtful community arts engagement.

2025-26 CCAP Application

We invite organizations who would like to partner with the Logan Center between July 1, 2025 and June 30, 2026 to complete a CCAP application. Successful partnerships involve organizations with a history of artistic programming and a strong audience base. Partners are expected to contribute to community engagement efforts at the Logan Center through shared programming, which may include workshops, classes, performances, and other activities.
