WDCB's Gary Zidek looks at the efforts of Chicago-based 3Arts.

"This is a time when arts organizations, when artists, when we are all trying to fortify ourselves, we're all trying to extend ourselves to our greatest capacities possible. Knowing that this might be an inevitability ... I hope it isn't." - Esther Grimm talking about the potential impact of eliminating the National Endowment for the Arts. 

3Arts has awarded $2.4 million to nearly 500 local artists over the past nine years. The MAKE A WAVE program will serve a supplement to organization’s long-running artist grant program.
