The IACA staff is currently working remotely and following state guidelines around social distancing. Fiscal operations remain an essential function and program areas are continuing their work and service daily. For essential functions staff works in the office when needed.
Please know that the Illinois Arts Council Agency is focused on and closely monitoring COVID-19 and its effect on the arts community. We stand ready to assist our applicants and awardees in the coming months.
