About the magazine

The Metropolitan Mayors Caucus is a membership organization that convenes the mayors of the Chicago region to address shared challenges and advance common interests. Founded in 1997, it operates as a collaborative forum for municipal leaders to develop regional solutions in areas such as economic development, transportation, energy, and the environment. Its core mission is to foster intergovernmental cooperation and advocate for policies that strengthen communities across the metropolitan area. The Caucus is not an arts or cultural organization; rather, it is a civic and policy-oriented entity. Its work is grounded in pragmatic governance and regional planning, with a focus on improving the quality of life for residents through coordinated action.

The Metropolitan Mayors Caucus does not offer traditional arts or cultural grants, residencies, or exhibition opportunities. Its programs, such as the Income Qualified North (IQ-N) Subcommittee, are focused on policy and municipal collaboration. Artists and cultural practitioners seeking funding or residencies should look to arts-specific organizations. However, if you are a municipal official or policy professional interested in regional governance, you may engage with the Caucus through its membership and committee structures. Applications for subcommittee membership typically require demonstrated experience in relevant policy areas and a commitment to collaborative problem-solving.
