The Guild Literary Complex is a 501c3 nonprofit bringing together the varied voices of Chicago and the world through innovative and integrative programming highlighting the intersections of marginality, the power of community, the impact of arts and activism, with a mission of social justice and literary arts for all. We are your on-going curated literary festival serving Chicago’s 50 wards since 1989. 

Working in collaboration with the City of Chicago and organizations like the Poetry Foundation, The Museum of Contemporary Art, The Chicago Literary Hall of Fame, The Southeast Asian Center, Brooks Permissions, Third World Press, Sones de Mexico and many others, the Guild Literary Complex creates dynamic programming highlighting our varied and robust literary community speaking from and giving voice to the margins.

Guild Complex is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency. Additional support comes from The Chicago Community Trust, The Gaylord & Dorothy Donnelley Foundation, the MacArthur Fund for Arts & Culture at The Richard H. Driehaus Foundation, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation's International Connections Fund, Poetry Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and individual supporters.
