Behind the Chair: A Cross-Industry Event

Behind The Chair amplifies representation and advocacy to influence culture through leadership and innovation.

The event uses barbershop culture as a lens to explore creativity, trust, storytelling, and authenticity—elevating these values as cornerstones that unite communities and redefine cultural influence. Purchase of ticket includes food and drinks from our local vendors and sponsors.

All sales will be used towards future programming and forwarding the event's mission: empowering Chicago creativity.

The Chicago Lady Barber premiere showcases these spaces, followed by the “Creatives Behind The Chair” speaker series, celebrating community and resilience across various industries.
