ANNOUNCING OUR NEW ARTIST IN RESIDENCE-
ALYZE CHICAGO!

Alyze Chicago is an Urban World musician, celebrating and using creative influences from genres hailing from all corners of the globe. A multimedia recording artist, writer, and humanitarian, Alyze uses art to connect to communities and lift up the experiences of members of the community. 

 

Alyze Chicago’s voice is her instrument. Words are her palette for storytelling. Life is her inspiration.

 

Her contribution to “Need Some” from the debut EP released in May by JQUORY, Lois Curtis Center’s inaugural artist in residence, demonstrates the power of Alyze’s vocal stylings. 

 

As someone who was tossed and turned through many of the same systems Lois Curtis navigated through her life, Alyze recognizes how art and a place of support for expression through art can offer a way to survive and a pathway to thrive. Alyze brings her artistry, wisdom, and commitment to building spaces that use art for healing to the 2025 Lois Curtis Center artist in residency, where she plans to offer real-world guidance and forge avenues to explore creative processes with emerging artists using online platforms.
