FAME in the Press

Chicago is home to some incredible young and talented artists but their access to arts education is not always equal, that's where the FAME center comes in.

Sheila Fortson, Founder and Executive Director of FAME Center, joins Lisa Dent to discuss Rhythm & Roots: A Celebration of Black History & Artistry an event that takes place this weekend. The event celebrates Black artistry and honors Black women during Women’s History Month. They have a goal of raising $40,000 for their children’s summer camp.

FAME Center is hosting Rhythm & Roots to raise $40,000 to sponsor 60 children for arts camps.

FAME is a multidisciplinary nonprofit that focuses on art and music education and making that education accessible to young people in Chicago.

A non-profit center for the arts is making Chicago Proud in their quest to find a new home.
