Inspiring

The 3Arts Awards celebration is heralded as one of the year's most anticipated events. Join us as we announce 28 new award recipients, experience a dynamic performance showcase by past 3Arts Awardees, and toast the city's artistic vibrancy at a lively after-party. 

Community Focused

The 2025 3Arts Awards is the only event of its kind, bringing together Chicago’s artists and the greater Chicago arts community for one night only to applaud the next cohort of 3Arts Awards recipients. To support Chicago’s arts ecosystem, we will split the donations made during the event with this year’s designated co-beneficiary, Center for Native Futures.
