The Chicago Humanities Festival's mission is to create opportunities for people of all ages to support, enjoy, and explore the humanities. We accomplish this by creating an annual Festival of the Humanities and by presenting programs throughout the year that encourage the study and enjoyment of the humanities.
Our Goals Are To:
Bring the world's best and brightest humanists together to examine and celebrate the humanities
Showcase the riches of the world's cultures and their contributions to the humanities
Gather together new and diverse audiences to enjoy the humanities
Encourage and enable teachers and students in their study of the humanities
Draw international attention to the importance of the Humanities
Foster collaboration, cooperation, and dialogue among the artistic, cultural, and educational communities that provide life and support to the humanities
The Chicago Humanities Festival is devoted to making the humanities a vital and vibrant ingredient of daily life. We believe that access to cultural, artistic, and educational opportunities is a necessary element for a healthy and robust civic environment. Tickets for most Festival programs are $5 in advance, $6 at the door, and all programs are free of charge to students and teachers (with ID).
