Shared Prosperity: Equity Arts Benefit Dinner
Saturday, May 17th, 2025
7 PM -12 AM
Equity Arts invites you to our inaugural benefit event! Equity Arts is a non-profit community development project located in Chicago’s Wicker Park neighborhood. Our mission is to create a cultural flagship that introduces a new economic model for the arts. Our initiative aims to shift market forces towards positive social impact, preserving the neighborhood’s authenticity while fostering the growth of the next generation of Chicago’s arts leaders and entrepreneurs. The event will celebrate our progress and raise funds to help advance our mission of community ownership of impactful real estate!
The event will take place on Saturday, May 17th, 2025, from 7 PM to 12 AM at Heaven Gallery. This community benefit will feature an artfully curated three-course sit-down dinner by local food stylist Arden Kelley, followed by a silent art auction including works by artists Gracie Hammond, Andrea Coleman, Aron Gent & Betsy O'Brien, Jaclyn Mednicov, David Reninger, Allison Reimus, Doug Fogelson, Kailyn Perry, Gwendolyn Zabicki, Kevin Buzzel, Kristina Nsuangani, and Ilene Godofsky. Please join us for an afterparty on the dance floor with DJ Emerylee.
We would be thrilled to have you with us for this special occasion as we work to further our vision for a creative and inclusive arts community. Let us know if you have any dietary preferences or needs.
