Leadership, Administration & Board

The Ruth Page Foundation and its arts center, The Ruth Page Center for the Arts, has since 1971 committed its resources to creating a dance destination in Chicago; ensuring that children and dance artists have a place to study, work and perform at the highest level of excellence.

Central to this work, are the men and women who have been part of our history, and those who carry the torch forward.
