REVEAL 25 – The Guild’s 25th Anniversary Party and Benefit
05/15/2014 @ 6:30 PM - 11:00 PM
REVEAL 25 is the Guild’s 25th anniversary party, an opportunity to celebrate 25 years of mission-driven accomplishments in Chicago’s vast literary community. It is a jubilant celebration of the past, and also a chance to look ahead to the future. Past and present directors, including founding director Michael Warr, will be announcing our 25 Writers to Watch—25 emerging and established writers whose works are making an impact on their communities and neighborhoods right now, and possess all the potential and power to influence writers and readers globally. These writers will be present at the party, and the Guild will include them in upcoming programs.
Our shindig takes place at Victory Gardens Biograph Theater (2433 N Lincoln Ave) across from the old Guild Books—the birthplace of the Guild Complex. We will celebrate this silver anniversary in style with an open bar from 6:30-7:30p.m., a special program (see below) at 7:30p.m., and music + libations + dancing the rest of the night. Please join us!
Online sales have ended. A few tickets are available at the door!
