Discover Our Purpose
Our Mission
Our mission is to support at-risk communities by fostering personal growth, bridging generations through violence prevention programming, and promoting fine arts. We are also dedicated to empowering music artists to develop their careers in multiple genres while continuing to uplift the cultural vitality of our communities.
Our Vision
Our vision is to secure our own dedicated facility to better serve the community, empower emerging musical artists with opportunities and resources, enhance our initiatives aimed at
violence prevention throughout Chicago, and offer performances in both the fine arts and musical arts for our community members and employ community residents for training and jobs.
Our Promise
We offer a variety of resources designed to support our community.
Our resources include: victim services, case management, community outreach, and special assistance through Illinois Department of Human Services.
Fine Arts
At Chicago Cultural Performing Arts & Media Alliance, our goal is to inspire creativity and foster a love for the arts within our community. We believe that art has the power to transform lives and bring people together. We have provided opportunities for artists to exhibit their work, connected with each other, and introduce the arts to underserved communities.
The CCPMA Steering Committee makes recommendations to the Chicago Cultural Performing Arts & Media Alliance for programming and funding guidance.
Community members with lived experiences are valued and bring an important voice to the CCPAMA Steering Committee.
