APA Chicago is sponsoring Chicago Creative Review on Thursday, June 11 at Morgan Street Studios. It's difficult getting a meeting with an art producer or creative. So, we've assembled the finest creative talent in Chicago for one-on-one meetings lasting 15 minutes each. This is a one day event where you can schedule as many meetings as you'd like with agency creatives. After registering - whip your portfolio into shape, work on your presentation skills, and nail the in-person interview. This is your chance to get the critical feedback needed to move your career forward.
Special Note
While we're hoping our artists and reviewers benefit from valuable time spent sharing work and establishing a connection, we're also interested in giving back. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Steve Grubman memorial fund to assist young artists as a donation to the Off The Street Club.
