The City of Chicago recently launched a new pilot program, the Chicago Arts & Health Pilot for Creative Workers (CAHP), a partnership between the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE), the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH), and City Colleges of Chicago. The pilot program aims to strengthen trauma-informed and culturally responsive health services in communities disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. CAHP explores career pathways for artists centered in health, healing, and wellness by establishing one-year artist apprenticeships at City mental health clinics. Ten artists will be selected to participate and will receive training, field placements, and ongoing support for the yearlong program. Each artist will receive an apprenticeship award totaling $66,000 in salary and benefits. Applications are open now through June 22nd. For eligibility or for general information, visit www.chicagoculturalgrants.org.
