Chicago (January 30, 2008)—k101 Agency is excited to add The Recording Academy to their list of lifestyle clientele. The Agency will be responsible for spearheading local public relations efforts which will include informing media about the Chapter’s work with the region's music and recording communities as well as how the Chapter addresses its needs through education, advocacy, professional development and events. In the past few years, the Chapter has continued to recognize the diverse groups that comprise the region's recording industry. It has increased its membership base and hosted numerous educational seminars throughout the Midwest, thereby creating valuable opportunities for members to gain information about professional developments in their particular field. They continue to work closely with the many established music and arts organizations and have become an integral partner in the Chicago cultural community and other major cities across the Midwest.
The Recording Academy Chicago Chapter, which covers the whole Midwest, is located in Chicago's historic Santa Fe Building. The architecturally significant structure is also the home of the world-renowned Chicago Symphony Orchestra and is directly across the street from the Art Institute of Chicago.
About The Recording Academy:
Nearing 50 years of celebrating music through the GRAMMY Awards, The Recording Academy continues its rich legacy and ongoing growth as the premier outlet for honoring achievements in the recording arts and supporting the music community. The GRAMMYs are the only peer-presented award to honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position. The Recording Academy looks forward to the new opportunities of a growing organization. Over the last decade particularly, the Academy has expanded its goals from the important work of recognizing the best in music through the GRAMMY Awards to establishing itself as the preeminent arts advocacy and outreach organization in the country. The Academy's mission statement is simple, but represents the heart and soul of the organization's efforts: to positively impact the lives of musicians, industry members and society at large.
