🌟 What an unforgettable night at the League of Chicago Theater’s Gala! 🌟 Collaboraction was honored to celebrate 45 years of groundbreaking art and community impact within Chicago’s vibrant arts scene. Huge thanks to the Feinberg Foundation and the League of Chicago Theatres for hosting us. This wasn’t just a celebration—it was a powerful tribute to unity, vision, and innovation, paving the way for another 45 years of transformative art. With the opening of our House of Belonging, we’re more inspired than ever to continue this legacy and build toward a future filled with collaboration, creativity, and lasting impact. Here’s to many more years of artistry that shapes and strengthens our community! 🎭✨ 📸 Marisa Klug-Morataya #ChicagoTheater #ArtsCommunity #Collaboraction
