CATSKILL – CREATE Council is pleased to announce CREATE IN PROCESS, a series of ongoing and new gatherings for creatives to connect, share, and learn!
As CREATE continues to evolve toward a more collaborative, accessible, and community-centered approach, CREATE IN PROCESS aims to foster spaces where creatives can come together to exchange ideas, present works in progress, and actively develop projects with the support and feedback of their peers. These gatherings are open, inclusive, and designed to nurture creativity at every stage of the process.
To inaugurate these programs, CREATE is proud to partner with Cone Zero, Bridge Street Theatre, and Wave Farm to present three distinct but interconnected meetups:
