Chicago

[close] This group is created for readers and writers in Chicago and for out-of-towners who want to celebrate our local literary community as well as books set here and books written by authors who live here. With the American Writers Museum coming to Chicago a group like this only seems befitting!

[close] The Academy for Artists is located in south side Chicago. The goal upon creation was to create a diverse group of artists who would be able to unite the city through the power of art. The creators wanted to prove that yes, Chicago was rapidly being referred to as "Chiraq", but also yes, it is capable of providing the best, most talented artists to be seen. It's a conservatory based program, focusing primarily on four fields, Visual Arts, Theatre, Dance and Music.

[close] The Gay Men's Book Club of Chicago is a social group for gay men living in Chicago who share a passion for reading. We meet monthly to discuss a different book. The meeting is at a different member's house each month, hosted by the gentleman whose book was selected to be read for that month. The books we read vary widely from classics to current bestsellers, biographies to thriller fiction. Sometimes books will have a gay theme or characters, sometimes not. Our discussions are not limited to the book selected and we often delve into current events, politics, pop culture, and general conversation. Oh - and we drink wine... lots of wine. Membership is capped at 15, but we are always looking for men who are interested in joining us. Contact the group moderator, Matt Holsapple, through this page if you are interested in joining the Book Club.

[close] Meeting on the Northwest side of Chicago, this is a book club for all who love the classic literature of years past.
