Escape Artistry is dedicated to supporting initiatives that bring equity and equality to our communities. We have partnered with other artist-run groups to promote the incredible work of Ms. G, the founder of Life Builders United in Englewood. We feel privileged to have the opportunity to work with such fantastic community organizers, and are excited to spread the word!
We are calling on our own network of supporters to help us as we join forces with Gadabout. This NW side Chicago restaurant is doing amazing things to help provide resources to communities on the West and Southside. Efforts are being concentrated this week on Life Builders United. In addition to their ongoing mission, LBU has been providing food and basic necessities to their community. As a leader, Ms. G has gone above and beyond the mission of her organization.
Let's show up for her the same way she has shown up for her community with this last BIG PUSH!
Gray Talent Group has provided a HUGE boost and words cannot express our gratitude. THANK YOU for the headstart we needed!

The City of Chicago has implemented a vaccine requirement for bars, restaurants, and certain entertainment venues.
