East Garfield Park Performing Arts Center to Receive TIF Funding

BandWith Chicago, a youth performing arts and wellness advocacy organization, will create a $12.3 million permanent headquarters in East Garfield Park with City financial assistance approved by City Council today.

The nonprofit organization will receive up to $5 million in Tax Increment Financing (TIF) support to improve a 21,460-square-foot building at 134-56 S. California Ave. for its free performing arts programs. The work will create new rehearsal and performance spaces and classrooms for music, dance, drumline, sound engineering and choral instruction.

Located one block from where BandWith began operations in 2013, the work also includes a cafe and a Horizons for Youth educational resource center.
