Celebrating the Heartbeat of Rogers Park: Arts and Culture

Rogers Park’s spirit comes alive in its art, music, and culture.

From galleries to street murals, theaters to music venues, our neighborhood is home to a vibrant creative community that brings us together and tells our stories.

I’ve been proud to support local artists and cultural events, knowing that a thriving arts scene is essential to our identity and economy.

Lately, I’ve been asked if I’m thinking about running for Alderman. I’ve thought about it because I want to ensure that the voices of artists, performers, and cultural organizations are heard loud and clear in City Hall.

If I run, I’ll work to secure resources, protect creative spaces, and celebrate the diversity that makes Rogers Park unique.

Art is the heartbeat of our community — and I’m ready to help it beat even stronger.
