Dance in Sacred Places - hosted by Partners for Sacred Places

• Partners has organized a tour of the Chicago Temple and Second Presbyterian Church. Just to summarize, this will be more of a sacred places tour. Partners just launched a new program called Arts in Sacred Places - the program goal is to create a mutually beneficial relationship between Chicago’s houses of worship and the arts community by connecting those with space with those that need space. Our interns have been conducting research and are in the process of surveying congregations, parishes, dance groups, musicians, artists, community groups, etc. for the project.
• Note – this bus will leave the hotel at 3pm exactly for a 3:30pm launch
