Sisters In Cinema Media Arts Center Opening In South Shore Monday

CHICAGO (CBS)-- The arts are expanding on Chicago's South Side.

"Sisters In Cinema" started in the nineties as a website for African American women filmmakers. Monday, they're breaking ground on a new media arts center.

The center will be located in the South Shore neighborhood, where its founder Yvonne Welbon grew up.

Half of the money came from a grant through Chicago's neighborhood opportunity fund. Mayor Lori Lightfoot will be on hand for the groundbreaking ceremony Monday afternoon.
