For Kate Lorenz and her team at Hyde Park Art Center, the transformation that began in 2020 has inspired tremendous generosity. From granting more than $560,000 to emerging artists, to creating accessible online classes–they are seeking to revive Chicago’s art-scene, one project at a time. The Hyde Park Art Center has always been recognized as a welcoming communal space for artists and activists alike. Lorenz joins smART Magazine to discuss her organization’s mission on diversity, inclusion, curation, and their plan for community outreach.
