DCASE for ALL

The Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE) is dedicated to enriching Chicago’s artistic vitality and cultural vibrancy. This includes fostering the development of Chicago’s non-profit arts sector, independent working artists and for-profit arts businesses; providing a framework to guide the City’s future cultural and economic growth, via the 2012 Chicago Cultural Plan; marketing the City’s cultural assets to a worldwide audience; and presenting high-quality, free and affordable cultural programs for residents and visitors.

DCASE values diversity, equity, access, creativity, advocacy, collaboration and celebration & we invite you to join us at our varied events or with a visit to the Chicago Cultural Center, Millennium Park and Clarke House Museum.

DCASE For ALL was developed to help families, especially those with disabilities or young children, prepare for a day at a Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events venue or event. In the app, you can learn about the spaces, create your own schedule for the day, play a matching game, and check out features like the sensory friendly map and insider tips. DCASE is dedicated to welcoming all families. This app will help you get ready for a great day with us. We can’t wait to have you come explore!
