    Off the Page is an event that offers an opportunity for members working in literary media to perform and share their work, expanding the exhibition through the inclusion of live readings and spoken performance. Participating artists are encouraged to reflect on the exhibition theme and use it as a starting point for expression through poetry, prose, spoken word, and other short literary performances in front of a live audience.

  • Would you like to attend Off The Page?*
  • **Kindly note, CREATE cannot provide tech such as speakers, microphones, etc, although artists are welcome to make any arrangements independently if required. Please contact Alice at community@createcouncil.org with questions. 

  • DEMO DAY
    Saturday, June 27, 12–3pm (During Upstate Art Weekend!)

    Demo Day invites a handful of artists to present live demonstrations of their process and technique to attendees. With multiple rotating stations, visitors can move between tables, observe different approaches, and gain insight into the creative process.
