Find Your Kind of Chaos

Chaos Clubs

No instructions, no assigned projects, and no pressure to make something perfect.

Open-ended creative time where you get to explore the materials, follow your curiosity, and make whatever you feel like making. We’ll provide the space and supplies. You bring the possibilities.

Private Creative Gatherings

Want to bring a little creativity to your own group?

We offer private creative experiences for birthdays, friends, families, organizations, and other gatherings. Let’s figure out something that fits your people.

Guided Workshops

Want to learn something new or try a specific project?

Our guided workshops offer a little more structure while still leaving room to make things your own. Projects, age groups, and materials vary by event.

Pop-Ups & DIY Craft Bars

Sometimes we take the chaos on the road!

Find us at local markets, community gatherings, and special events with hands-on creative activities you can jump into.

A Few Things to Know Before You Come

Do I need to know how to make art?

Nope! You don’t need any experience, special skills, or even a project idea. Curiosity is plenty.

Are your events for kids or adults?

Both! We offer all-ages gatherings as well as activities designed for specific age groups. Check each event description for age recommendations and supervision requirements.

Do I need to register?

Yes, please! Registration helps us prepare enough materials and plan for everyone attending. Some events have limited space.

What if I need an accommodation?

We want our creative spaces to feel welcoming and accessible. If there’s something that would help you participate more comfortably, reach out before the event so we can talk through what’s possible.

Where are events held?

Many of our creative gatherings take place at Jubilee Art Studio in DeKalb, Illinois, but you’ll also find us popping up at other community spaces. Each listing includes the location.
