“I want to congratulate the HotHouse on its 40th anniversary. It is a Chicago arts group that brings world music and events to underserved communities.”
“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the HotHouse Center for International Performance and Exhibition, popularly known in Chicago as the HotHouse. The HotHouse is known for its programming of jazz and world music concerts, multi-disciplinary events, and focus on creating opportunities for artistic practices and performances. HotHouse has taken the arts into underserved communities, fostering the international exchange of ideas, and serving as a central meeting place for a variety of community groups. While their physical location at Balbo Avenue closed in July of 2007, the current board continues organizing and programming around Chicagoland. Over the years, HotHouse has been awarded with many of the top honors in the arts and culture industry, including Best of Chicago, Chicagoan of the Year, and The Abbey, all reflecting its lasting impact in our region. Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the HotHouse on this incredible milestone, and I wish the organization many more years of success.”
