What we’re about
WELCOME ROGUES & MISFITS! This is VGVS Chapter Zero, the place for anyone who isn't in a location that currently has an official VGVS chapter on Meetup. There are currently Meetup groups for the following areas:
Central Illinois (Springfield, Peoria, Bloomington, Champaign-Urbana)
Indianapolis, IN
Portland-Salem, OR / Vancouver, WA
San Francisco, CA
Phoenix, AZ
If you are near one of those locations, find your chapter group so you can access local events! If you are NOT in one of those locations, stick around here for online events and notifications about new Meetup groups!
The Venturous Guild of Visionary Storysmiths (VGVS) is an international creative collective committed to growing a diverse, inclusive, and collaborative community of empowered artists. We are a nonprofit organization that provides free resources, workshops, mentorship, and safe spaces for creators to hone their skills, build their confidence, and share their stories. This is the group for anyone who is not in an area with a chapter Meetup group; only online workshops and events will be shared in this group.
