Join us for THAW 2020, Links Hall's annual fundraiser and celebration
of the performing arts community!
THAW 2020 will take place at
Rockwell on the River, located in an old manufacturing complex in the Avondale neighborhood in Chicago. This unique industrial building features high lofted bow truss ceilings, skylights, exposed brick, timber construction, a grand courtyard entrance, and floor to ceiling windows overlooking the North branch of the Chicago River. Rockwell on the River offers a beautiful setting to bring together musicians, dancers, performance artists, art installations, members of the public, craft cocktails, and food trucks for one of the most popular art parties in Chicago.
THAW 2020 also honors longtime Links Hall supporter and board member
Tracie D. Hall.
Tracie has served the Chicago arts community in a myriad of ways across her career, most recently as Director of the Joyce Foundation's Culture Program, where she was responsible for the funding and development of an assortment of grants devoted to supporting the work of dance and performance artists of color.
