The Creative Chicago Expo connects individuals and organizations working in all creative fields -- music, film, fashion, theater, dance, literary and visual arts, design and new media -- with funding, space, housing, business and social resources. Admission to the Expo and all workshops is free and open to the public.
Last year more than 5,500 people participated in the free, day-long event that takes place throughout the Cultural Center. This year’s Expo will feature more than 100 exhibitors, 25 workshops, and the return of “Consult-a-thon”, with 40 consultants available for one-on-one appointments.
