SUMMARY:Workshop: ECODEVIANCE: a generative writing class
DESCRIPTION:With nicole v. basta. ECODEVIANCE is a term borrowed from the poet CA Conrad. Here\, we will use the idea (“subversive syllabus for a queer ecopoetics”) to practice presence with our words and with the earth outside the typical constraints of our society and our minds. Through extensive multi-step prompts\, you will be asked to burrow forward without turning back (i.e. keep your pen moving in a way that allows your mind to slip out of its linear grip). This is a generative creative writing class where we will use the cycles of nature and the vastness of time (starting back in pre-human times) to explore unconventional ways to approach a page and emerge more potent writers. We will reject time and question what it means to be in touch with “nature” in a world constantly distancing itself/ exploiting nature. We will also borrow inspiration from queer revolutionaries and resistors. This class is meant for all types of creatives\, all people.

SUMMARY:ALMANAC: A MURMURATION - Christine Gelineau
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Buffalo Street Books with local author Christine Gelineau for observations on the intersections between real life\, stories\, and the natural world in this contemplative memoir as she reads from her new book\, ALMANAC: A Murmuration \nAbout the Author: Christine Gelineau is past Associate Director of the Creative Writing Program at Binghamton University and teaches creative nonfiction and poetry at the Maslow Family Graduate Program in Creative Writing at Wilkes University\, a program she helped to found. She is the prize-winning author of three books of poetry: Crave\, Appetite for the Divine\, and Remorseless Loyalty; and editor\, with Jack B. Bedell\, of the anthology French Connections: A Gathering of Franco-American Poets. \nAlmanac: A Murmuration is a memoir that is stitched through with a thread of autobiography and by a thread about the nature of language and narrative: the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves\, the stories we fashion about how we matter as a nation\, and stories we weave about our relationships with other-than-human animals and with the endangered natural world we are a part of.

SUMMARY:27th annual Greater Ithaca Art Trail Open Studio Weekends
DESCRIPTION:Go on an adventure through gorgeous fall foliage with multiple artist studios as your destination!   \nThe Greater Ithaca Art Trail\, a program of the Community Arts Partnership of Tompkins County\, is hosting two Open Studio Weekends.  \nOn October 11th\, 12th and 18th\, 19th\, 30 fine artists across Tompkins County will open their studios to you!  \nVisitors can gather their art loving family and friends and enjoy a drive through our beautiful Tompkins County roads with artist studios as destinations. There’s no fee\, and no appointments needed. Just a wonderful adventure with great art and great conversations.  \nREGISTRATION IS REQUESTED (so we can keep visitors up to date) and there are three ways to enter into two different RAFFLES with over 27 chances to win art or offers donated by participating artists or gift cards.  \nYou’ll meet painters\, illustrators\, photographers\, sculptors\, printmakers\, and potters. You’ll see wood turning\, wood carving\, calligraphy\, parquetry\, gourd art\, fine jewelry\, and kiln formed glass.  \nThe artists will be thrilled to share their passion for their art making and show off what they’ve been working on.  \nWe love this quote from a 2024 visitor who said\, “I was blown away by the quality of the art that I saw and the really cool art studios. And I didn’t expect all the wonderful conversations I had with the artists. The Art Trail is such a unique and special event. And when you combine visiting such great artists with the beauty of the area\, this is definitely going to be an annual event for me and I’ll be sure to bring heaps of friends each year!”  \nThose who are on a quest to buy art (holiday presents!) will find prices ranging from $10 to $5\,000 and everything in between. Purchasing art can be an exhilarating experience and connecting with the artist is part of that experience. Many of the artists are offering demos and incentives.   \nYOU’LL NEED THE PDF list of who is open\, with printable maps.  Not all artists on the Trail are open\, and each artist is open on different days\, so you definitely need that list!  \nVisit ArtTrail.com. You find the PDF list/map on the event page\, plus artist profile pages and more. ENJOY!  \nQuestions: Robin Schwartz\, Community Arts Partnership Program Director. Info@artspartner.org \nCAP thanks our Art Trail business sponsors: P.W. Wood & Son\, Harris Beach Murtha\, Attorneys at Law\, Cornell University\, and our media sponsors: WSKG and The Route WITH Radio. Additional funding form the Tompkins County Tourism Program.  \nThe Art Trail is a program of the Community Arts Partnership of Tompkins County. For over 32 years\, “CAP” has been a driving force behind the vibrant arts community of Ithaca and Tompkins County.
