Featured Sponsorship Opportunities
Our sponsorship programs are individually customized to meet your specific marketing goals while maintaining the Museum’s mission. Please review featured opportunities below!
AQUÍ EN CHICAGO
Aquí en Chicago will celebrate the historically persistent cultural presence of Latine communities in Chicago–from proud displays of cultural heritage to public actions of resistance. The project includes an exhibition (fall 2025), paid research internships, an oral history project, and more. Throughout the exhibition development, we are actively collaborating with community organizations to understand and highlight the intersectionality, beyond country of heritage, of Latine Chicago.
THE CHICAGO LEARNING COLLABORATIVE
The Chicago Learning Collaborative is a K–12 museum education initiative that provides students meaningful learning experiences that are centered around Chicago history and incorporate diverse narratives and perspectives. The CLC programs are classroom-based and free to schools that participate. They are designed to be relevant, accessible, and culturally responsive to their audiences. Each program culminates in a family event at the Museum where parents, students, and the public have an opportunity to view a temporary exhibition of the students’ work and celebrate their achievements.
