The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago’s Corporate Vision Art Award celebrates arts education philanthropy in Chicago. This award recognizes significant supporters for sustaining the MCA’s robust and responsive arts education programs and more importantly acknowledges the greater need for Chicago’s children to exchange ideas, share creative experiences, and explore contemporary art and culture.

All event proceeds support the MCA’s learning programs, which reach 15,000 students and teachers each year to explore art and ideas at the museum, at home, and at school.

The Museum of Contemporary Art is pleased to present this year’s award to Tony Karman, president of EXPO CHICAGO. This virtual program celebrates EXPO CHICAGO’s historical relationship with the museum and brings attention to the corporate community’s generous support of arts education at the MCA.
