Join fellow League Members for a casual conversation with Alderman Andre Vasquez from the 40th Ward. Andre will talk with us about how to create meaningful partnerships with your Alderman and City Council. We will discuss the Alderman’s exciting path to election, his participation in the Chicago Progressive Caucus, his unique approach to participatory zoning and budgeting, and his dream of creating a new arts corridor in the 40th Ward. Now in his third year on City Council, Alderman Vasquez will share with us his ideas on how arts organizations in Chicago can advocate for space, funding, and support at the various levels of city government and we can share with him our insights into how he can expand access to the arts for his constituents.
The League will provide a round of refreshments, chips, salsa, & guacamole for attendees. After the discussion, we are welcome to stick around at our tables and order food and drink from the kitchen.
