Behind every thriving nonprofit is a circle of believers. At ICA, one of our first and most faithful was the Alesia Alpert Foundation, led by philanthropist and arts advocate Eden Alpert, daughter of legendary musician Herb Alpert.
Since 2021, the Foundation has provided annual support to ICA—helping us offer scholarships, expand programming, and reach more young artists across Chicagoland. Eden’s commitment to youth empowerment and the transformative power of the arts is deeply personal, and her support has made a profound difference.
“The arts shape our courage, our confidence, our voice,” Eden said in an interview with Voyage LA. “They help us become more of who we are.”
Eden’s leadership extends beyond ICA. Through the Eden Alpert Therapeutic Music Program and other projects, she has helped bring music and healing to children around the world.
We are proud to honor Eden Alpert and the Alesia Alpert Foundation as true champions of ICA’s mission—and invite others to follow in their footsteps.
ICA’s Spotlight Forward campaign is raising $50,000 by June 30 to provide scholarships, fund summer programs like IMPACT, and help us launch the new school year with strength. A gift of any size helps fuel the kind of transformative training that changed Emmy Chan’s life—and so many others.
Join us in celebrating, reflecting, and giving back.
