SpeakEasy is a monthly gathering of Toronto’s creative community. It’s an opportunity to network, share ideas, and keep in touch with the pulse of Toronto’s creative professionals. Since 1996 it has grown from a get-together of a few friends to an event that now draws regular crowds of up to 300. SpeakEasy takes place 6 times a year, on the first Thursday of the month, at\u00a0The Gladstone Hotel<\/span><\/a>\u00a0(1214 Queen Street West<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/div>\n

The atmosphere at SpeakEasy is casual…conducive to innovation and inspiration. Each month a selected group of artists from a different creative discipline displays work for the crowd. Some of our most popular shows have featured Photography (part of the city wide Contact Festival), Illustration, Industrial Design, Multimedia, Graphic Design, Fine Arts, and the SpeakEasy Craft Shows.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why is there a need for SpeakEasy?\u00a0
\nMany people in Toronto are working alone these days. At a venue like SpeakEasy you can meet new friends and make new business contacts. SpeakEasy allows people to see what is new and exciting in the industry, and learn how other people tackle the day to day challenges of the creative field. SpeakEasy is very informal. There are no annual fees and no rules. The event is about creative people coming together to share ideas, exchange knowledge, and learn from each other. There are no other associations that are focused on helping creative individuals to help themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
