Walder Foundation announced a new virtual performance series called “Chicago Takes 10,” curated by a diverse set of performing arts organizations. Grantee organizations will identify artists to feature in bi-weekly performances that will stream live at www.chicagotakes10.org. The series kicks off on Thursday, March 18 at 6 p.m. All performances will include live chats where viewers can interact with the artists. Walder Foundation is providing $250,000 in grants to 10 nonprofit curating organizations of which $100,000 is restricted for direct support to individual artists. Grantee organizations are encouraged to curate diverse performances, including musicians, dancemakers and performers with different styles and aesthetics. The Foundation will also support professional video and audio recordings of each performance at Links Hall and Constellation Performing Arts. Through Chicago Takes 10, Walder Foundation hopes that viewers will discover new types of performances from their homes and choose to support these community organizations in person in the future.
