Vivian Haritos | Development Manager

Vivian joined CAD in 2021 as a visual artist and nonprofit cultural worker with over 20 years of experience. A first generation Greek American, Haritos examines themes of cultural tradition, assimilation, and the blurred middle — exploring ideas of home, belonging, pop culture, mythology, and archetypes in her practice. Vivian received her Bachelor of Arts in Art History from the University of Illinois at Chicago, and Certificate in Museum Studies from Northwestern University’s School of Continuing Studies. Most recently she has exhibited in group shows at CAD, Art Center Highland Park, and Mana Contemporary Chicago. She served on the 2025 Advisory Committee for Designing a Better Chicago, and was a Visual Arts & Design panelist for the DCASE Individual Artist Program in 2024.
