CHARYBDIS invites all artists & art professionals to gather under the most creative roof in Chicago for three nights and two days. SYNEXUS is a time to network, showcase, and enjoy all art forms. From performance to music; visual to technical; individuals to groups, there’s no time like the present to get involved and spread the word.
