JOIN LOS 500 - $20/MONTH

CULTURE BELONG TO EVERYONE

Most of our events are free to attend, made possible by you.

For just $20 a month—or $240 a year—you can help sustain the programming, artists, and creative professionals who make Chicago’s Latino cultural landscape so extraordinary.

We need you in our audiences. We need your enthusiasm, your curiosity, and your applause. And if you’re able, we would be grateful for your financial support.

Because the arts are better when we experience them together. And with your help, we can keep sharing them with everyone.
