This is the largest free arts programme the City runs on a Saturday in October, and it is built around a subject most arts calendars skip entirely: what art does for health. DCASE has grown it into a third year, with a day of sessions rather than a single panel, and Malcolm X College sits a block from the Illinois Medical District. Five hours of programming at no cost.
What to expect
A one-day conference format at a college campus: sessions, conversations and demonstrations across the afternoon, with doors half an hour before programming starts.
