Opportunities

CAD’s strength comes from its vibrant community and wants to work with you! CAD aims to remove financial and bureaucratic barriers from our community and if we can make it happen, we will! Each year CAD offers 50+ free programs to the public along with free applications for programs, events, exhibitions, along with our residency program. If you are interested in volunteering or interning with CAD please contact hi@chicagoartdepartment.org.

CAD’s next Studio Residency Application will open in Spring 2025.

CAD’S next Program and Exhibition Applications will open in Fall 2025.
