Our Partners
Teatro Vista, Theatre with a View, was founded in 1990 to address the lack of opportunities for Latinx artists and other artists of color. Teatro Vista is firmly committed to sharing and celebrating the riches of Latinx culture with Chicago audiences.
Luv City is grateful for Teatro Vista’s partnership, whose talented and dynamic staff provide acting classes, curriculum support, and onsite coaching during youth programming.
UCAN has been providing support to Chicagoans for over 150 years. Today’s services include preventing violence, healing trauma, building strong families, and educating & empowering youth.
Luv City is proud to collaborate with UCAN by providing street outreach, case management, and workforce development opportunities for youth.
Provoke Culture is a creative agency focused on caused based initiatives. Their artists specialize in public art, digital illustration, and community focused programs that are engaging and impactful.
Provoke Culture’s vision is to create artwork that uplifts and inspires our communities, believing that partnering with local artists and community organizations are key to developing authentic content that reflects the voice of the community.
Luv City is humbled by Sam Kirk and Provoke Culture’s support, collaborating on mural projects and paid youth internships to produce audiovisual content for Sam and Provoke Culture’s innovative artwork.
Since 2004, Chicago Art Department (CAD) works to provide space and resources for civically-minded artists to grow their practice while questioning the city we live in. CAD accomplishes this mission by providing artists with equitable and accessible opportunities for artistic development through subsidized Studio Residencies, Think-Tank Cohorts, Community Events, and contemporary Exhibitions and Programs.
CAD has been an outstanding partner to Luv City, providing event space for our young artists as well as paid internship opportunities to produce audiovisual content for programs at its venue.
