Join us on Monday, September 14th at Villa Maria College’s Recital Hall for the Western New York Creative Sustainability Summit! Hosted by Emily Best, filmmaker and CEO of Seed&Spark, the leading crowdfunding and creator education platform.

In this Poetically Speaking workshop, participants explore how poetry and cooking intersect by using imagery, metaphor, and emotion as ingredients to craft a collective poem rooted in connection, culture, and creativity.

Lessons Learned is a dynamic panel series where creative industry leaders share real-world hacks, habits, and hustle to help you thrive in today’s creative economy.
