ABOUT CLERISY
VISIT
CLERISY
We host programs every 2nd Tuesday of the month & High Tales every 4th Tuesday of the month.
CLERISY is a Chicago-based cultural arts organization exploring the intersection of literature, culture, creativity, and community.
Rooted in the belief that learning extends far beyond the classroom and that creativity is a powerful tool for connection, CLERISY creates spaces where people can explore ideas, exchange knowledge, experience culture, and engage with the world around them.
Literature is our foundation, but our work extends across artistic disciplines, cultural experiences, educational programming, creative expression, and community engagement.
Through our book club, High Tales, as well as gatherings, workshops, discussions, performances, collaborations, and immersive experiences, we make room for people to discover new interests, develop new skills, share their perspectives, and build meaningful connections.
We believe everyone has something to learn, something to contribute, and a story worth exploring.
Whether through accessible community programming, educational initiatives, creative productions, or collaborative cultural experiences, CLERISY works to make art, knowledge, and connection more accessible and engaging.
