The International LGBT Poetry Slam DETAILS!
Arts Festival
Each week, no matter what the year, Chicago enjoys a dazzling array of creative expression in many disciplines of art, culture, performance, prose, and spectacle. Many of our cultural institutions are planning some extra-special events from 15-22 July 2006 for the Gay Games’ ancillary Arts Festival. It will be an unforgettable week of art and inspiration.
 Chicago and the Arts
Chicago has a long and vibrant cultural history. From gospel choirs to our famous blues clubs, world-class museums, renowned public art and architecture, and a burgeoning theater district, the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender arts community is alive and thriving in our great city. Chicago is home to the original Poetry Slam, the world's 2nd oldest LGBT film festival, renowned LGBT theater companies, and an exploding queer music and performing arts scene.

Chicago and Music
The Windy City also boasts 4 choruses, the Lakeside Pride Bands, the world's oldest women's music coffeehouse, drum circles, cheerleaders and twirlers. The Gay Games has a great tradition of drawing on local talent to complement the international artists that help entertain and uplift participants and spectators.
