Established in 1974, the Rizal Center was named after Dr. Jose Rizal, a leader of the Philippine independence movement who opposed Spanish colonial rule in the country. For decades, the center was a community hub for Filipinos, offering food distributions, hot lunches for seniors, religious services and various community events.
Mural Goal
Celebrating Filipino Heritage: A Collaborative Mural at the Rizal Community Center will narrate the rich history of Filipino immigration to Chicago and the United States. This mural will celebrate the cultural heritage and contributions of the Filipino community by involving fourteen artists, each bringing their unique style and voice to a collaborative masterpiece. The artwork will depict the cultural history of the Rizal Center which has been a cornerstone of the Filipino community for nearly 50 years.
