Demons and Darlings

The Demonic Mission
Demons and Darlings is and always has been a not-for-profit community organization. Our mission is to keep the "dark underground" art scene alive, keep our community together by being a gateway to connect artists with fans, merchants with customers, neighbors with their community, and to introduce and educate more people about the wonderful indie artisans we have in the "gothic", "industrial", and similar dark underground cultures.

We are a group of people focused toward unifying the "dark culture" in Chicago and beyond. We are not a production company in the standard right, but instead we create events and work together with other artistic and cultural groups to achieve our goal. Feel free to contact any of us with your comments, suggestions, and even criticisms (be a Darling though!). Please visit Dispense if you'd like to submit info or other comments which are not covered in the topics below.

Thanks to the founders of the Gothic Council of Chicago, Galen and Linda for creating this idea and for all their hard work to get it started. Linda and/or Galen may return to volunteer with Demons and Darlings, but for now, they're taking a, hopefully restful, hiatus away from event planning & production.

Volunteer! We need people who want to help with street team, event decorating, and many other things that need to be done. This will apply not only to our own events, but other goth/underground events in the city that need a few extra pairs of hands. This is an excellent opportunity to earn amazing free perks, save a few bucks on cover by getting on guest lists, and avoid standing in line to get in. Please join our Volunteer Yahoo Group.
