Next Chapter: The Age of Innocence

Join the Chicago Council of the American Writers Museum for a night of conversation and cocktails during its annual fundraiser Next Chapter: The Age of Innocence, an evening reminiscent of the Gilded Age. Sponsor or buy tickets here.

Next Chapter: The Age of Innocence will take place at the American Writers Museum in downtown Chicago, allowing guests the opportunity to explore the nation’s first and only museum dedicated to American writers and their enduring influence. The AWM’s interactive and hands-on exhibits are designed to teach and inspire visitors about the past, present, and future of American writing.

Funds raised at this event will go towards the AWM’s Write In Youth Education Program that serves middle and high school students from under-resourced schools.

The Chicago Council of the American Writers Museum is a group of dedicated Chicagoland professionals that are committed to supporting and extending the AWM’s broader mission to engage the public in exploring and celebrating American writers.
