Many places have an artist’s discount, but don’t advertise it on their site. Any time you’re buying something big or taking a class, it never hurts to ask if they have a discount for artists.
Here’s some places I love that give a discount to artists in Chicago:
 
Mind Art Core Pilates
10% off all class packages and private sessions packages for artists and teachers (except for unlimited packages)
Get Balanced
 
Shred415
Sign up for an account at Shred415.com, email Lyndsey@shred415.com mention my name and say you're an artist or actor. Lyndsey will give you your first class free, plus give you an artist discount on future packages.
