Urban Growers Collective (UGC) is a Black and women led 501(c)(3) organization that cultivates nourishing environments in Chicago’s historically disinvested communities, seeding pathways to freedom while supporting residents’ health, economic development, healing and creativity through urban agriculture. In partnership with Chicago Art Department, UGC will convene artists and community members to design an outdoor studio/maker space to be activated with public programming and Artist Residencies. The Studio/Maker space will be located at UGC’s South Chicago Farm located on the southern end of Chicago Park District’s Clara D Schafer Park.
