Public Humanities Award
Join us on Thursday, May 21, 2020 at the InterContinental Magnificent Mile as we celebrate Sylvia Ewing and Eve L. Ewing with the Public Humanities Award and Weinberg/Newton Gallery with the inaugural Beacon Award.
Sylvia Ewing is a nonprofit executive at Elevate Energy, producer of events that build community and move people to action, and a former journalist. Eve, a professor focusing on race and education, was raised to ask questions and lift her voice in service to communities. She is an award-winning author of three books and multiple projects for Marvel Comics.
This year we will present our first Beacon Award to the Weinberg/Newton Gallery for their commitment to creating space for dialogue about the many social justice issues that concern our local Chicago community and beyond
