About us
The Chicago Cultural Alliance’s mission is to connect, promote, and support centers of cultural heritage for a more inclusive Chicago. We are an active consortium of 40 cultural heritage museums, centers and historical societies who span 28 neighborhoods and 7 suburbs in the Chicago area and represent over 30 different cultures from around the world. Our vision is a city where all communities have a voice, and cross-cultural dialogue and collaboration are an integral part of Chicago's civic fabric. The Chicago Cultural Alliance is the only organization of its kind in the US, representing 40 Chicago-area cultural heritage museums, centers, and historical societies, our Core Members. Through the Alliance, Core Members are connected to a wide range of civic and arts organizations, our Partners. Our Partners and Core Members work together to increase each other’s capacities in administrative, strategic and community-driven engagement, working towards our mission of a more culturally-inclusive and equitable region. The Alliance was formally created in 2008 after beginning at The Field Museum as the Cultural Connections program in 1998, created under the leadership of our founders Dr. Alaka Wali and Dr. Rosa Cabrera. Core Values • First voice of Core Members and their communities is central to the Alliance’s operations and programs, leading to social change driven by community concerns and resources. • Heritage is an asset not only to explain history, but also to address contemporary issues and to build leadership and innovation for the future. • All programs are collaborative and cross-cultural, building greater impact than could be achieved by any one member or partner individually. • The Alliance is an active community and not a loose network or a purely professional consortium. • Engagement is not simply outreach; it is the co-development and creation of ideas, programs, and initiatives.

Had a wonderful evening last night at the Chicago Cultural Alliance Mosaic Gala at the Chicago History Museum. It was an honor to celebrate our city’s incredible cultural diversity and heritage. A huge thank you to my dear friend Mónica Félix, Ph.D., the executive director of the Alliance, for her inspiring leadership and dedication to fostering cross-cultural understanding. It was also a privilege to see David Hiller recognized as the Cultural Champion. David is an experienced news media publisher, attorney, and philanthropic executive with an impressive career! Special thanks to Marian Barlage, M.S. for joining me at this celebration. Looking forward to seeing the continued impact of this important work! #CulturalDiversity #ChicagoCulture #MosaicGala2024 #ChicagoHistoryMuseum #CommunityUnity

Our team has been busy supporting wonderful events in the community. Joyce was a proud sponsor of the Chicago Cultural Alliance #Mosaic gala at Chicago History Museum celebrating Chicago’s cultural communities. Congratulations to 2024 honorees Jack Hiller, Billy Ocasio & Dr. Ramón García, and congratulations to Executive Director, Mónica Félix, Ph.D. on a successful event our team members Victoria M. Spires, MSHRM, Sabrina Miller, Justin Abraham, CFA, CAIA, Jada S. & Tarun Sethi greatly enjoyed supporting. (The photo stand was a big hit with all attendees and we enjoyed spending time with foundation peers like The Field Foundation of Illinois' Maudlyne Ihejirika!) We were also a proud sponsor of the 2024 Hispanics in Philanthropy conference being held in #Chicago this year, and our team members Francisco J. Velasco, CPA, Joseph Solis Morla 🏳️🌈, Marisol Becerra, PhD, Kayce Ataiyero, Melanie McElroy, Bree Perry & Elizabeth Cisar were thrilled to support the festivities. #JoyceInCommunity #CommunityEngagement #CommunityImpact #ChicagoCulturalAlliance #HispanicsInPhilanthropy #HIP2024
