Saturday Night Drink n' Draw returns to Chi-PRC  (858 N. Ashland Ave.) on Saturday, August 20 at 8 p.m.!

Since 2014, Chi PRC has been the homebase for monthly SNDnD meeting sessions. The drawing event has resulted in mini-comic jams, live music sessions, and a gallery exhibition in 2015. The event went on hiatus this past spring and summer but is now back with new drawing activities, projects, games, and more!

As always, the event is BYOB and artists of any and all "skill level" are invited. Some snacks will be provided along with music and host Alex Nall who will lead the creative endeavors for the evening.

A $3 suggested donation will be requested at the door to help benefit Chi-PRC.

We hope to see you this Saturday for our triumphant return!

The Chi-PRC online fundraiser went live earlier this week. This place is a valuable community resource center for Chicago writers and artists. I’ve hosted plenty of workshops and events here and attended some great ones by friends and local/visiting artists.

Here is the fundraising video shot by Academy-award nominee, John Maloof (Finding Vivian Maier). Take the weekend to look it over and consider supporting CHI-PRC.
