The Music Department's first Classical Recital of the year! Two performances: 4:45pm and 7:00pm.

#CAArts

Join the Theatre Department November 2-4 for their fall production of Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility"! Synopsis: A playful new adaptation of Jane Austen’s beloved novel follows the fortunes (and misfortunes) of the Dashwood sisters—sensible Elinor and hypersensitive Marianne—after their father’s sudden death leaves them financially destitute and socially vulnerable. Set in gossipy late 18th-century England, with a fresh female voice, the play is full of humor, emotional depth, and bold theatricality. SENSE AND SENSIBILITY examines our reactions, both reasonable and ridiculous, to societal pressures. When reputation is everything, how do you follow your heart?

Calling all young writers, animators, and filmmakers! Submit your work to Germinate.

Once a year, The Chicago Academy for the Arts publishes Germinate, an online journal comprised of creative writing, film, and animation. The journal is meant to provide a published platform for professionally recognized and aspiring storytellers of multiple disciplines. Each edition features work from professionals working in the Chicagoland area, Academy alumni, and most importantly, young, emerging artists. The Academy Media Arts Department curates submissions to publish professional-quality work.

Do you know any young writers or filmmakers who may be interested in submitting work for our publication?

The next issue of Germinate will be published in April. Submissions for the next edition will be evaluated through January, but Germinate accepts submissions year-round.

Each year, The Academy identifies three elite-level freshman male dancers to receive the Rusty and Jeffrey Sanfilippo Young Men's Dance Initiative scholarship. Selected dancers will receive financial aid for up to the entire cost of tuition. In creating this initiative, The Academy aims not only to recruit, support, and train young men with significant dance potential, but to serve the dance community at large. Proper ballet programs need male dancers, and any serious dance program has a ballet component. We are excited and inspired about the Young Men’s Dance Initiative, and that through it The Academy can help guide more young male dancers into higher education and careers in the art form—in Chicago’s celebrated dance community and beyond.

The Academy is scheduling auditions for the 2018-2019 freshman class now! Please contact Kitsana Salyphone, Director of Enrollment Management for more information.
