About Hyde Park Jazz Festival's Artist Corps:

The Artist Corps Fellowship program is an initiative that expands the power and potential of community and artist-driven programs in neighborhoods. Artists-in-neighborhoods programs facilitate storytelling and community building; provide opportunities for healing and resilience; and create connections to advocacy, mutual aid, neighborhood health, and equity initiatives. Central to the mission of the Artist Corps program is bringing rich, engaging, artistic experiences to people where they live, particularly in communities without equitable access to cultural programming.
