The chairs of the Arts and Culture subcommittee on Brandon Johnson’s transition team lay out their ideas for revitalizing the arts in Chicago.

Reset discusses ways the Johnson administration could lean into the arts with the chairs of his transition subcommittee, which will soon make its recommendations to the mayor.
