Poetry & Paint: Passion Prjct

Poetry & Paint is an intimate creative experience bringing artists, storytellers, musicians, and community together under one roof. After nearly two years away, GVC brings Poetry & Paint back with a new era, new energy, and higher purpose — while remaining rooted in the same sacred space built on Art. Culture. & Connection. On 10.10.26, we return with our newest theme: PASSION PRJCT — Where Passion Becomes Art. Poetry & Paint is an intimate creative experience bringing artists, storytellers, musicians, and community together under one roof. This isn't simply about watching a show. It's about sharing space, discovering new artistry, connecting with good people, and experiencing what happens when creativity becomes community. Throughout the evening, experience live poetry, storytelling, music, visual art, open mic performances, and curated moments of connection featuring creatives from Chicago and beyond. Passion Prjct is about the things we pour ourselves into. The ideas we refuse to let die. The art born from lived experience. The things — and sometimes the versions of ourselves — we choose to build again. Because sometimes the real Passion Prjct is you. ❤️‍🔥
