Founded in 1974, we are the state partner for the National Endowment for the Humanities and supported by state, federal, and private funds. We provide free, high-quality humanities experiences throughout Illinois, particularly for communities of color, individuals living on low incomes, counties and towns in rural areas, small arts and cultural organizations, and communities highly impacted by mass incarceration.

Stay connected with us by subscribing to the Illinois Humanities newsletter at ilhumanities.org and following us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn @ILHumanities.
