The Visualist follows On The Make, a calendar project that was developed by Karly Wildenhaus. It was then re-imagined and further developed by Jenny Kendler, Chad Kouri, and Steve Ruiz. The Visualist is administered by culture/Math, a 501c3 not-for profit artist service organization that develops tools to support the deep and rich cultural community in Chicago. culture/Math is administrated by a jumble of fun loving team players that don’t believe in business cards. If you have any questions or suggestions, please let us know at events@thevisualist.org.

culture/Math is an artist-run 501C3.
The Visualist is a 2016 recipient of the Propeller Grant, culture/Math is the recipient of a 2020 CityArts Grant and is partially supported by the Builders Initiative and the Illinois Arts Council Agency.
