The ILCC programs a variety of artistic and cultural events throughout the year in Chicago. Our goal is to showcase and share the diversity and wonder of Latino arts and culture to further understanding and foster better community. We created HablArte!, a video Podcast, as an opportunity for our audience to learn more about the artists, performers and staff that make our programming special and distinct. Although not on a set schedule we publish often and you can find all of our episodes on our dedicated page:
