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.

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.

What can contemporary poets teach us about surviving the multiple social and political crises of our current moment? As importantly\, what can they teach us about creating and nurturing the new worlds that will emerge from these moments? Taking guidance from writers like Naomi Shihab Nye\, Hala Alyan\, Franny Choi\, Ross Gay\, Danez Smith\, and others\, in this generative workshop we’ll read\, discuss\, and write together to consider how elements of poetic craft can urge us towards interrogation and action. Together\, we’ll reach for Jericho Brown’s definition of a successful poem: one that “begins a new way of living” in its reader. A program of the Community Arts Partnership of Tompkins County.

In this 1 hour workshop with Amir McClam\, participants will explore poetry as a queer (non-normative) method of self-creation. Together we will study the work of June Jordan and KB Brookins\, consider what we have to learn from them\, and produce original writing. Through communal discussion\, self-reflection\, and guided prompts\, participants will practice writing their own poems asserting who they are or wish to be. Because the concept of queerness isn’t limited to sexual/romantic orientation or gender identity\, participants do not have to personally identify as LGBTQ+ to find value in this workshop. Participants will have the opportunity to share their work back to the group at the end\, if they so choose. Sincere thanks to our sponsors! See more on our website.

In a blackout poem\, the writer chooses an existing document and obscures all but a few selected words; the remaining words create the poem. This process puts the writer in direct conversation\, not only with the words on the page\, but with the historical context\, power structures\, and biases underlying their chosen text. \nThis workshop will begin with a brief discussion of the form and what makes a blackout poem effective\, with examples by celebrated Black and Indigenous writers. We will then transition into a three-step\, generative writing exercise\, and close with an opportunity to share your draft. Open to writers of all ages and experience levels! See more for sponsors.

This workshop\, co-led by creative coach Emily Mure and novelist Nancy Holzner\, features exercises to keep your inner critic from blocking your writing. We’ll start by interrogating the critic to find out where that voice originates. Then\, we’ll invite another voice to come forward—someone who believed in or encouraged you in some area of your life. We’ll develop this champion’s voice to make it as strong as the critic’s. Finally\, we’ll write a scene that puts the critic and the champion in dialogue. These voices in our heads are characters we create. And as writers\, we know how to work with characters! By understanding our inner critic and listening to our champion\, we can learn how to enlist their aid to help our writing\, rather than block it. Sincere thanks to our supporters and sponsors.

DESCRIPTION:With Dan Rosenberg. Writing poetry isn’t always about finding the perfect word; sometimes it’s about having fun together and making each other laugh. For this workshop\, we will try out some collaborative poetry games\, creating strange and surprising poems in pairs and as a whole group. Everyone is welcome\, from established poets looking to lean into their sense of play to teens looking for more creative ways to entertain themselves during a boring Chemistry lecture. The only requirement is that you don’t take yourself too seriously. Who will be selfless enough to just contribute a “the” to our poem? Who will turn our sweet poem raunchy? It might be you\, if you join us! URL:https://www.downtownithaca.com/event/workshop-collaborative-poetry-games/ LOCATION:Buffalo Street Books\, 215 N.

In this interactive workshop with Emily Sun Li and Tommy McAree\, we’ll explore how to craft authentic voices across picture books\, middle grade\, and young adult fiction. We’ll begin with a guided discussion on narrative voice\, analyzing syntax\, diction\, and tone through standout examples from children’s literature. Drawing from The Magic Words by Cheryl Klein and Writing Picture Books by Ann Whitford Paul\, we’ll examine techniques that shape a narrator’s voice and deepen reader connection. In small groups\, participants will analyze real texts to identify language choices that define audience. Next\, we’ll introduce a “character mining” strategy to help develop distinctive voices. Participants will then draft a short piece using guided prompts or a fun challenge involving randomly assigned narrator traits. We’ll wrap up with a group share and feedback session. By the end\, participants will leave with fresh writing\, analytical tools\, and a clear methodology for crafting authentic\, engaging narrative voices.

The portraits aim to honor and thank the Ithacans that are bravely themselves in an increasingly anti-trans political climate.” \nThe exhibition features a series of small gouache paintings on scrap board salvaged in Ithaca. In addition to the serial work\, the exhibition features 3 large scale oil portraits completed during Goico’s time as an undergraduate at Cornell. Ithaca First Fridays Gallery Night – Passing Through: Portraits of Gender Rebellion is going to be the title of the event as we go forward to create social media and other content to promote the event.

Are you feeling stuck\, uninspired\, or unfulfilled? Is something within you longing to be expressed? In this workshop we will explore the feeling of being creatively stuck and how it affects (and is affected by) our inner and outer worlds. Through written reflection\, group discussion\, mind-body practices\, and intuitive collage I will guide participants into a deeper understanding of their own creative blocks. We will examine how fluctuating states of writer’s block and creative flow are normal and learn strategies for finding balance through these changes. Together we will create a safe and supportive container for each person to begin the process of shifting from stuck to unstuck. My intention is to facilitate awareness of and curiosity around your needs and desires and to share tools and practices to help you sustain a fulfilling creative flow well beyond the workshop.
