I was wondering if you would like to chat some? I am interested in where you would like to travel depending on business or leisure. I offten travel, and have been looking for a travel buddy or at least someone to share my experiences with. In hopes you could use some of my travel tips on one of your excursions. I am not sure if you wish to communicate here, or use skype. either way is great for me. Here is my skype ID. juju_b4u2nv
i hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Jill, yes... I plan to be at the next MeetUp. Looking forward to meeting everyone too! I actually moved to Chicago a couple months ago. I freelance from home for a couple clients that I kept from South Carolina, but am very eager to get back into a full-time career somewhere in or near downtown (wishful thinking?)... can't wait to meet more designers & begin networking : )

See you in January!!

Hi Jill, that is the fine arts courtyard and that's also where we will be holding many of the events, small world indeed. December may not be the best time to be in the city, but I'm sure it will be nice to have you back. We hold events often, so keep an eye on what's coming up once you are back in the the city. We would love to have you join us!

, , ,

The Creative Social Club (CSC) is the largest multi-disciplinary, eclectic Meetup Group dedicated to the arts in Chicago, organized exclusively to facilitate socializing and the shared enjoyment of life. Comprised of current and aspiring creative professionals, creatively oriented individuals, and enthusiasts of human creativity, the CSC meets regularly to celebrate diverse expressions of the human experience – encompassing visual arts, literary arts, performance arts, and more – while taking advantage of the exceptional social, cultural, and entertainment amenities that Chicago offers as a world-class city. Nearly shut down when its Founder left the group in July 2009, the CSC has grown to over 1,000 members with over 50 Meetups, excellent ratings, and positive reviews.

Although our members include a core of accomplished creative professionals, participation in the Creative Social Club is strongly encouraged for any individuals who have a healthy appreciation for human creativity and enjoy socially and positively engaging other people who share the same passion. Members tend to be smart, sociable, laid back, and happy people. Along with its sister group, the Good Times Institute (GTI), the CSC endeavors to be "well-organized and relaxed", with "fun, friendly, smart people to be around", as described by one of our group reviews. We try to do things just a little differently from other Meetup Groups – more personal, less formal/reverent, unconventional, and innovative/risk-taking. Membership is FREE as Meetup is our labor of love, and we are also cost-conscious in organizing Meetups with starving artists in mind. For a more detailed description including an overview of the variety of Meetups we organize, click here. See the video below for a fun moment from one of our Meetups.

Our motto is "Be Creative. Be Social". If you are worried that you are not creative enough to join, just be more social. And remember: Membership in the CSC is free, but you only enjoy its full benefits if you participate.

Welcome to the Creative Social Club!
