Welcome to the CMC Blog
Welcome to the Chicago Music Commission’s blog. CMC will use the blog to facilitate a wide-ranging discussion about Chicago music and to keep you updated on news affecting Chicago’s music community, including CMC’s independent take on everything from Chicago music and music business news to legislative updates on what’s happening in Chicago government to national arts news.We think there has been too little conversation about Chicago music, so we’re looking for a vibrant, spirited dialogue. Thank you for your interest in Chicago music.
Welcome to ChicagoFestivals.net
We have compiled listings and schedules for as many of the free Chicago festivals that we can find! These are compiled in easy to read lists by festival on our new festivals website. Included wherever possible are hyperlinks to the artists website so that you are one click away from finding out in advance something about the artists you are going to enjoy (or doing some research when you get home!)
CMC releases draft version of event promoter ordinance for discussion
March 3, 2009--CMC has posted a draft of what it believes is the latest version of the event promoter ordinance that remains in the City Council's License and Consumer Protection Committee. We have been told that no vote is scheduled on this ordinance. We also posted CMC's statement on this draft of the ordinance, some helpful FAQ's prepared by the City, and a crowd safety report that the City cites in this draft of the ordinance. Check it all out by clicking below.
