Huge thanks to our Sinag mural volunteers (special shoutout to .delvalle for all the heavy lifting these past weeks), Rizal Center Rizal Center Board members, and our sponsors, the Ignite Fund and the Illinois Arts Council, for making this possible. Earlier this year, Sinag received a grant from the Ignite Fund, and just recently, additional support from the Illinois Arts Council!

The Ignite Fund is a Regional Regranting Program administered by 3Arts () and supported by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts ().
Together, we're painting a brighter, more connected community.
