The Chicago Poetry Center invites you to experience the Blue Hour generative writing workshop. This donation-based monthly event takes place at the esteemed Haymarket House in Chicago. Immerse yourself in an evening of literary exploration as you engage with two talented poets from the vibrant Chicago poetry scene and beyond. 

Before the readings commence, a limited-space workshop will captivate participants, delving into the intricacies of a poem by one of the featured artists. This immersive experience will offer guided generative writing time, allowing attendees to tap into their creativity and express themselves through the written word. 

The workshop will commence promptly at 6 p.m., with arrival encouraged anytime after 5:45 p.m. An hour of creativity will then give way to an enchanting open mic and reading at 7:30 p.m., followed by a time of community gathering. 

On February 21st, the esteemed Marty McConnell will take on the role of facilitator and host, creating an engaging and inclusive atmosphere for all participants. 

You have the option to sign up for either the workshop or the reading, or both. Each registration must be completed separately. The reading is free, while donations starting at $5 are kindly requested for the workshop. We believe that everyone should have access to the enriching experience of poetry, so if cost is a barrier, please email marty@poetrycenter.org for a no-questions-asked fee waiver. 

Haymarket House offers a safe and accessible space for all attendees. All restrooms are gender-neutral, and ASL interpretation is provided at each event. The venue is ADA compliant and fully wheelchair-accessible. For any specific accessibility needs, please email curator@poetrycenter.org in advance to ensure seamless access. Moreover, the space is equipped with a professional air filtration system, and masks are currently strongly encouraged for all indoor events. 

For your convenience, there is limited free and paid street parking available near Haymarket House. Additionally, the parking lot at Disney Magnet School is a viable option, although it is a paid lot. If you prefer to use SpotHero, there are nearby locations available as well. 

Don't miss out on the Blue Hour generative writing workshop, a transformative experience for writers and poetry enthusiasts of all levels. RSVP for the reading and get ready to immerse yourself in the captivating world of poetry.

Chicago&#39;s most worthwhile attractions&mdash;do your homework and you can spend a lot of time exploring. [The following appears unrelated and likely a separate topic:] Van Gogh, Seurat, Monet, Renoir, Gauguin, and some bronzes from the China Pavilion. This close encounter with art and history is incredibly satisfying and enriching.

Is it worth the price probably not, do they know that definitely, will it change never because the people that do it are spending the money on a once in a lifetime experience to say they been there, done that and will most likely never return to do it again lol but the views are definitely spectacular especially for the sunset viewing times. If you do go definitely worth going around the sunset time. But be warned it will take you about 1.5 hours to get out of there because of the extremely long line to get back down. So pack a bag of snacks and take it with you so you can chill and enjoying the views instead of walking in the long line down. I did not do the Tilt because that was definitely not worth the price and again the lines are super long you could wait up to an hour or more just to do it. You also not guaranteed to do the tilt at the time of when you get your upload but the line to do it probably started from previous uploads.

The John Hancock Center is a place you can visit by appointment. Group tours in Chicago generally do not include activities in this place, but you can stop by here when you are traveling on your own to get to know some of the characteristics of American architecture and culture.

Field Museum

Best Things to Do

Allen2001

I came to Field Museum in the year of 2021. At that time, COVID was still a big thing, however, I still want to visit. it was amazing to see such a beautiful museum.

Grant Park

Natural scenery

Grant Park is also a good place to visit for free. The most common people you see are locals doing outdoor sports. Running is very popular and can be seen at different times of the day. There are also some people walking their dogs.
