What is State of The Arts - Chicago? SOTA is brought to you by the Truman College Philosophy Club with the support of The City Colleges of Chicago. We're being broadcast live through our partnership with WNUR radio and Block Cinema and featuring several artists in collaboration with Johalla Projects. It's free and it's gonna rule!
The idea behind SOTA is to create an event that exposes people to new and avant garde ideas from the arts, sciences, humanities, and anywhere else we find them. State of The Arts -Chicago is a community based project committed to presenting talent from everywhere in the city to everyone in the city. We think the way to make Chicago's cultural life accesible isn't to dumb it down. We think making art, science, music, film, and the humanities accessible is only a matter of bringing it to the neighborhoods and inviting the community.
That's why we're bringing local rock, jazz, and electronic musicians to collaborate with film-makers and video artists. We're also hosting presentations by a theoretical physicists from M.I.T., a professor from DePaul's world renowned philosophy department, a videogame developer who's worked on some of the industries most popular franchises, and more. And we're inviting established and up and coming artists to show their work. That's why we're making the whole thing completely free and open to everyone!
