The Point Mag Issue 16 Launch Party
@
125 S Clark St, 6th Floor Lounge, Chicago, IL 60603
Opening Friday, June 8th, from 6PM - 9.30PM
On view through Friday, June 8th
Kick off the weekend with us and Curbside Splendor Publishing as we celebrate the launch of our latest (and most controversial!) issue of The Point: Issue 16, “What are intellectuals for?” and party it up before the annual Printer’s Row Lit Fest.
Find out about all the little magazine goss while sipping drinks by Revival Food Hall and listening to spirited readings from the new issue. We’ll also have music, copies of your favorite lit mag, and a crowd of surprisingly social readers.
