Consult DCASE at Chicago Cultural Center – Chicago, IL

Join us for our monthly in-person office hours with DCASE staff!

Each Consult DCASE session will include different team members from the department who will answer questions about programs, resources, services, and more. Join the Chicago Film Office, Cultural Grants, Special Event Permits, Public Art, Exhibitions or Cultural Resources to learn how to access the department’s resources, get input, and explore opportunities related to your work and ideas.

Consult DCASE will be divided into two parts, with the first part being for people who are seeking 1:1 guidance and the second part will be a more open discussion with all who want to meet with each team.

1:1’s | 11:30 am – 12:05 pm

• Limited spots will be available for three attendees to have 10-minute one-on-one sessions with one of the available teams, at 11:35-11:45, 11:45-11:55, or 11:55-12:05.

Group Conversation | 12:15 pm – 1:00 pm

• For this second part of the session, all who sign up to attend, can participate in the conversation with each team. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss them in a collaborative setting.
