If you’re doing anything even remotely creative in Chicago, you should definitely check out the Creative Chicago Expo, March 23-24 at the Chicago Cultural Center. The expo is a chance for arts organizations and artists of all disciplines to connect, exchange  information, and share best practices. It features hundreds of booths from the city’s art, music, dance, theater and other groups, plus free seminars all day long.

• Date: March 23-24, 2012
• Time: 10am – 4pm each day
• Location: Chicago Cultural Center, 78 E. Washington Street
• Cost: free!

Friday will focus on information for arts organizations and creative businesses, and Saturday will focus on the needs of individual creatives. But since the entire event is free, it wouldn’t hurt to attend both days.

Update: the full schedule of free workshops is now available online, so be sure to check it out & take full advantage of this event!
