The festival hosts Main Events, which the festival produces itself, and Fringe Events that can be brought by anyone. Main Events are the only events the festival has direct part in putting on. The rest of the events are put on independently by whatever organization, institution, group, or individual wants to be involved, though we can match applicants with other applicants where needed. Most outdoor events will take place at Chicago Parks since they are free, but we invite applicants to be inventive. Online events can be on whatever platforms, YouTube, Zoom, etc, and the festival will link to them on its calendar of events.

are produced by participants themselves. These events can be fully-self supporting, meaning they require no other aide or resources. (Ex: a school hosts a lecture series or presents students’ work; people go take pictures in parks together and share them online; a food kitchen will open for a day.)
These events can also be made up of partnerships between applicants and venues. (Ex: actors wanting to be in a play or film, a play or film requiring actors and partners, scientists looking to partner with creatives, outdoor venues wishing to host musicians.) The possibilities here are endless. Please do not take the above examples as anything like what your event needs to be. It can be anything.
