The Field Foundation, in partnership with the MacArthur Foundation, today announced the recipients of the 2025 Leaders for a New Chicago Award. As artists, journalists, storytellers, and organizers, these eight leaders are bringing transformative change to their communities—from the ground up—and are helping to write the next chapter in Chicago’s ever-unfolding story.

The Field Foundation of Illinois and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation today announced the 2024 “A Road Together” (ART) grant recipients. In the second year of a five-year, $15 million partnership, 51 Chicago-based arts and culture nonprofits will receive $1.6 million in ART funding; 25 organizations will receive three-year grants, and 26 organizations will receive one-year grants.
