We're on a roll! The May event was a HUGE success & now we're gearing up to have a even bigger June! In a city where there's so much negativity it's rare that you see a movement that's shed's light on a good cause, gives money to our neighborhood's most talented artists, and is 100% free to attend!!!
This is just the 3rd of 5 summer events put together by Row Cypher and Ulon. Each event has an unique theme based around driver's safety & is sponsored by Illinois Department of Transportation, UIC School of Public Health, and Safe Communities for Illinois. We are trying to give back to our impoverished communities and reward the talented.
