[company_age]26.0[/company_age][employees]1-10 employees[/employees][funding]grant[/funding][description]Elastic Arts Foundation is a non-profit arts organization based in Chicago, Illinois. It provides a platform for artists who are often marginalized or excluded from mainstream cultural institutions. The organization focuses on supporting artists whose work is experimental, unorthodox, non-traditional, or reflects racial, ethnic, sexual, or political identities that are unwelcome in dominant cultural institutions. Elastic Arts provides a space for these artists to create, exhibit, and engage with the community, fostering a diverse and inclusive artistic landscape. The organization's unique approach sets it apart from other arts organizations by prioritizing the voices and perspectives of underrepresented artists, creating a space for artistic expression that challenges conventional norms and boundaries.[/description][ps]Artist residencies, exhibitions, community engagement programs, educational workshops.[/ps]
