On Thursday, May 2, 2024, Kerfuffle! will return to Morgan Manufacturing in the West Loop to support the Music, Theatre, Dance, Creative Writing, and Visual Arts conservatories at The Chicago High School for the Arts (ChiArts). We are thrilled to recognize our 2024 honorees, Carol Prins and John Hart, for their unwavering support and extraordinary contributions to ChiArts and many of Chicago’s most notable cultural institutions.
Kerfuffle! welcomes over 350 supporters, arts partners, and civic leaders to celebrate ChiArts’ public, pre-professional, and 100% donor-funded arts conservatories, serving over 600 students from all of Chicago’s 50 wards. Throughout the event, creative commotion takes center stage as guests explore the worlds of ChiArts’ scholar-artists at this unconventional student performance-driven cocktail and seated dinner experience. Be prepared for a one-of-a-kind evening with spectacular live performances, poetry stations, and visual art showcasing how ChiArts is changing the Chicago arts community and beyond.
