Join us for an evening celebrating The People’s Choice, Flourish’s 2026 reception theme, which highlights the collective role that artists, curators, and cultural supporters play in shaping the future of contemporary art. The People’s Choice reflects the belief that the future of fine art is not dictated by institutions alone, but determined by the communities who engage with, support, and champion creative work.

Our annual fundraiser brings together EXPO creatives, leaders in Chicago’s visual arts community, and collectors to build meaningful relationships that strengthen and sustain the arts ecosystem. Funds raised will support Flourish’s three-year goal of $150,000, providing grants and professional programming for local artists and curators.

We look forward to celebrating with you as we advance a more equitable and inclusive future for the visual arts.
