WASHINGTON PARK — A local advocacy group will hand out more than $1 million over the next three years to support art projects that preserve and grow the “cultural identities” of Chicago’s neighborhoods. Elevated Chicago will grant $350,000 a year for three years to support public arts projects at developments near transit. The funding aims to “activate” neighborhood gathering spaces while bringing more artists into urban planning and development processes.

Rome — a former fullback, NFL practice squad player and longtime college coach — was announced Tuesday to lead Chicago State’s new football program. He comes to the Cougars from Florida Memorial University, the historically Black school where he earned a 15-15-1 record as head coach from 2022 until January.

HYDE PARK — The latest show by a South Side dance nonprofit asks its audience to reflect on the role of rest in their lives — and perhaps take it further than scheduling the occasional nap or spa day. Praize Productions, Inc. will host its 12th annual showcase, “Complexions,” Sunday at the Logan Center for the Arts, 915. E. 60th St. in Hyde Park. The multidisciplinary show features dance, spoken word and visual arts themed around “peace, rest and pause,” CEO and founder Enneréssa LaNette said.
