For those of you who have not logged on to Meetup or "Chicago Creative Singles" recently, you are in for some massive changes. We have a very detailed description of the next Meetup online, so I will keep this brief:

"Chicago Creative Singles" is now "The Chicago Creative Social Club". We have our own Web site, www.creativesocialclub.com, using the Meetup engine and integrated with the rest of the Meetup community. Spread the word. If you want to make new friends or the chance to meet that special someone who share your passion for human creativity, we need to make our Meetup Group as big as possible. Joining is free and we are working on some great events ahead, so there is absolutely no risk in joining. Invite your friends, use email or Facebook, commit to somehow getting three new people to join. Sending a link is easy: www.creativesocialclub.com
Please post your photo or photos, and fill out your group profile or even your Meetup bio. As one of our members pointed out, this is a social group. In fact, the motto and tagline of The Chicago Creative Social Club is "Be Creative. Be Social". Post your pics!
I notice few people use the Web site. Use it. Use the message board to keep in touch between Meetups, report on creative happenings in Chicago, or discuss ideas for a new Meetup. Get involved. Be creative. We have the opportunity to create a very special Meetup Group. As with most things, you get what you put in.
Our next Meetup is "Art Gallery Saturday", 1:15 PM, September 19th. Highlights are (a) a private group tour of the Chicago Cultural Center, (b) a presentation of the Illinois Institute of Art - Gallery 180 by its Curator, Chuck Gniech, and (c) drinks / early dinner to "hang out" and enjoy each other's company! Extensive details are at http://www.creativesocialclub.com/calendar/11120057/. We will meet at the Washington Street Lobby of the Chicago Cultural Center, 78 East Washington Street, Chicago, IL 60602. PLEASE RSVP AND IF YOU SELECT "YES", PLEASE NO AVOIDABLE LAST-MINUTE CHANGES AND NO NO-SHOWS.

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!
