A Network To Build Chicago Arts Audiences

April 10, 2025

Creative Chicago Expo

20+ Workshops | 100+ Vendors | 40+ Consultants

Presented by Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs

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.   Local and national specialists in social media, public art, performance marketing, fiscal sponsorship, and website design join space and housing developers, community development organizations, and legal and insurance providers.
