On Saturday, August 30, Chicagoans can engage in a day of programming that will highlight the City’s innovative Healing Arts Chicago program. The events will include a citywide conversation to define what care looks like, feels like and the demands it creates—led by those living and working at the intersection of health, culture, and creativity. Co-hosted by the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH), the Department of Cultural Affairs & Special Events (DCASE), and Malcolm X College, the 2025 Healing Arts Chicago: An Arts x Health x Wellness Summit will feature artmaking, wellness activities, workshops, panels, food, dialogue, performances, and networking with community organizations and city leaders. The 2025 Healing Arts Chicago Summit will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Malcolm X College (1900 W. Jackson Blvd.), with doors opening at 9:30 a.m. Attendees can go to more than a dozen presentations, performances, and breakout workshops throughout the day. More information, including a detailed schedule and presenter biographies, is available at Chicago.gov/HealingArts.
