Join us for cocktails and bites at Maxwells Trading in West Town to raise funds for Re/Match’s 2025 artist grant cycle!

Centered in artist advocacy, Re/Match (501c3) provides direct funding to Chicago visual artists to support the development and sustainability of their arts practice.

In 2024, Re/Match distributed $50,000 in unrestricted funds to five Chicago artists, each artist receiving a $10,000 grant.

Our first Artist Benefit will celebrate our 2024 awardees - Sofía Fernández Díaz, Cathy Hsiao, zakkiyyah najeebah dumas-o'neal, Alberto Ortega, and Maryam Taghavi, and raise funds for the second cohort of artists (2025 - 2026).

Similar to this year's selection process, artists will be nominated via an evolving committee of artists, educators, curators, and art administrators, and invited to submit a short application. Their application will then be juried by a panel of art leaders with the cohort being announced during EXPO CHICAGO 2025.

By supporting Re/Match, you are investing in the process of art making.

Through your attendance and support, you are giving Chicago artists necessary time and space to reimagine, dream, fail, and create.

Join us in supporting and celebrating the vibrancy and energy of visual artists here in Chicago! Attire is creative cocktail. 🥳
