Picture This!

At the age of 30, L. Frank Baum settled in Chicago's Humboldt Park and wrote The Wizard of Oz, the enduring tale of what happens when you believe!

In 2026, Collaboraction will celebrate 30 years—and our first in our new Humboldt Park home!

WE BELIEVE…

💛 The heart of Chicago is its arts community—the place that gives our city its lifeblood. A thriving arts sector sustains us all.

🧠 It’s imperative that we use our heads to think of innovative ways to engage our entire citizenry and drive social change with lasting impact.

🦁 We must find the courage to care deeply for each other’s well-being and act now—building a community that shares insights and resources to create a more expansive world.

We also know: There’s no place like home.

🌟 Help us build that home. 🌟
