Creative Symposium Series

The Creative Symposium Series is an endeavor to create a space in which creatives of all disciplines and at every stage of their career can engage in artistic dialogue, explore ways to grow in their craft, and cultivate a sense of community and camaraderie. This program FREE and is made possible with funding from the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA).  

2026 Creative Symposium Series #2: Step Into the Frame

March 22 - Join us at Roasted for a Sunday gathering built for creatives who are ready to be a little more visible.

Professional Photographer Matt Ebbers will bring his travel studio kit and offer free headshots in the newly reopened Roasted Coffee Shop. If you need an updated website photo, something for applications, or simply an image that feels current and true to you, this is an easy way to make it happen.

Alongside the headshots, we’ll host a roundtable conversation about putting yourself and your work out there.

How do you talk about what you make? Share it publicly? Reach out for opportunities without feeling awkward or inauthentic? We’ll explore the real, everyday side of visibility and learn from one another’s experiences.

Leave with a solid photo and maybe a slightly braver version of yourself.
