The Terra Foundation for American Art launched the Art Design Chicago in 2018. The purpose of the Art Design Chicago was to highlight the city as an international hub of visual culture. The Terra Foundation announced that they would return to Chicago in 2024. The year-long event in 2018 raised $6 million in a donation in 2018. Richard H. Driehaus donated $1 million for the 2018 event.

The Art Design Chicago 2018 also raised $1 million from smaller donors. The 40 cultural organizations of Chicago gathered for a city-wide partnership with a collective mission of exploring the art and design legacy of the city. These organizations collaboratively organized about 25 exhibitions and hundreds of smaller programs for highlighting the history of the arts and designs of Chicago. They demonstrated that art could change lives in the city.

The Art Design Chicago will return to Chicago in 2024 due to the success in 2018. A huge number of exhibitions, academic programs, and publications will highlight the cultural ideas of Chicago.
