Consult DCASE
Monthly office hours to meet DCASE teams one-on-one or in group discussion about grants, permits, public art and cultural resources.
Join us for our monthly in-person office hours with DCASE staff!
Each Consult DCASE session will include different team members from the department who will answer questions about programs, resources, services, and more. Join the Chicago Film Office, Cultural Grants, Special Event Permits, Public Art, Exhibitions or Cultural Resources to learn how to access the department's resources, get input, and explore opportunities related to your work and ideas.
Consult DCASE will be divided into two parts, with the first part being for people who are seeking 1:1 guidance and the second part will be a more open discussion with all who want to meet with each team.
