About The Chicago Cultural Alliance (CCA)

Established in 2007, the CCA is a growing consortium of 21 ethnic museums and cultural centers that have been collaborating with The Field Museum since 1998 on the Cultural Connections program. Together we realized the tremendous value we can bring to partnerships with mainstream institutions. Since the formation of the Alliance, mainstream institutions now have one stop access to a rich array of ethnic communities; and through joint marketing efforts, Chicago visitors and residents can learn about culturally specific programming taking place city-wide. www.chicagoculturalalliance.org
