WE’VE RAISED $39,000 SO FAR!
CAN YOU HELP US GET TO $45,000?
On Monday, February 8 at 7pm CST, Links Hall presented THAW 2021: ABUNDANCE, our annual fundraiser and celebration of the performing arts community. In previous iterations the singular event has drawn hundreds of live arts supporters and makers to revel in one of Chicago’s largest cross-disciplinary art parties. THAW 2021, co-directed by ERIN KILMURRAY + GIAU TRUONG, captures that surprising, electrifying spirit through dance, music, puppetry, installation, and more. With both pre-recorded and live performances from Links Hall and off-site locations, join us in celebrating Chicago’s imagination, joy, generosity, and our collective ABUNDANCE.
