This group will be for those interested in writing all forms of Creative Non Fiction. This will include Memoir, Personal Essays, Non Fiction essays or other forms of writing. I am starting the group so we will have a community of writers who can workshop and share ideas and critique each other's work and also do some creative writing exercises together.

I love my other friends, but where are the Black girls up north!?! I see Black women walking around my neighborhood, but I feel like it'd be awkward to say "AY gurl, wanna hang out?I'm Black too!" Northside Black Girls is intended to bring together creative, fun & active Black women of all nationalities (and percentages ;-)) in their 20s living on the North or near-north side of Chicago for any and everything under-the-sun. I have my personal interests that I will suggest meet-ups for, but this …

… We have great ideas on how to grow this group, but to kick things off we are starting a speaker series of experts to speak on topics like: Account & Legal for Entrepreneurs, Health Insurance, Communication, Financial Planning, Design Thinking, Lean Startup Principles, Overcoming Creative Blocks, & Managing your Business. Together we can abolish the fear of working for yourself and educate that there is far more to fear at a "safe" 9-5 than going it alone.

If you like to write and want a supportive environment in which to write join us! Each week, a member volunteers to provide writing prompts to spark our creativity. It can be a first line, an object, a picture, a situation. For about 10-15 minutes we write and if we feel like sharing we read our creation aloud. This is not a critique group - only positive feedback is encouraged. We usually fit in 3-4 prompts in an evening. Member ages range from young adults to octagenarians. You do not h …

Hello. I'm a guitar player who is not ready to 'play out' at this point as I am a bit rusty/have not picked up the instrument regularly in a while. I very much want to get back to playing/creating again, however. I am not a songwriter, not yet anyway, and I am not looking for perfect players, as the purpose here is to have fun, be creative, laugh, let go of our egos, ( as much as is humanly possible anyway). All aspects of musicianship are welcome: songwriters, singers, yes, even tamborine playe …

We decided to start this group to create an opportunity to meet new, creative people in a relaxed, fun atmosphere. This group will be focused on coming together and sharing our talents in a positive way--whether that be painting (artful, or home-improvement), gardening, organizing a fundraising event, decorating, ect. Starting out, we're looking to find out what would most interest you. What talents or new skills would you like to explore? Many of our volunteer-based meetups will focus on helpi …

… I provide creative opportunities and experiences to celebrate life as a rich, delicious, joyous adventure. ( no artistic talent necessary). I have found for myself that the "magic" happens when I am embraced by loving, nurturing women. Give yourself permission to be a priority.Turn the life you are living into the most succulent, bodacious expression of you. Embrace your Diva dreams.  

This is a group designed for writer's in the area. The best way to improve the craft is through practice, so why not have a writer's circle where we can share our work and offer positive criticism? This is for anyone who loves to write, whether it's your vocation or just a hobby. All writing is welcome, fiction and non-fiction.  Anyone who loves to put pen to paper, or more accurately fingers to keyboard, this is the group for you.  

I am forming this group to have a fun place to gather, work on our own projects of whatever kind and chat, please join if you do crafts, write, or other art forms
