The Chicago-based nonprofit 3Arts will award more than $1 million in grants to artists this fall, the grantmaking organization announced Thursday.

This year’s grant funding pot is up more than $400,000 from the $620,000 that 3Arts awarded last year. Cat Tager, who took over as 3Arts’ executive director last fall, said the increase is needed to meet the moment, which she likens to being “similar to the onset of the pandemic.”
