To Be Announced

Chrysanthemum Ball

In Autumn, the Chrysanthemum Ball will celebrate community and will honor unsung heroes who are making a significant impact in our community through the arts, advocacy, social services, education, or business. Tribute awards will be bestowed to individuals, organizations, and movements that have inspired, enlightened, and shown true leadership in areas that reflect the FACC’s core pillars of cross-cultural dialogue, civic engagement, service, and education.

Game Changer Award Gala

Game Changer Award

The Game Changer Awards Gala will be a signature event honoring artists, musicians, writers, and performers who have made a significant contribution to the development of art, music, and culture in Chicago and who inspire a deeper empathy and understanding of the world through their work. In spring, artists, musicians, dancers, writers, actors, and other notables from the arts and performance world, and FACC boards and patrons will gather to celebrate the arts in Chicago and honor these individuals.
