Current Exhibits - 'Outside The Lines' Students & Teachers Showcase at CREATE

March 14 – 30, 2025

CREATE Council on the Arts is paying tribute to our region’s rising, young artists for National Youth Art Month with an exhibition celebrating both students and the teachers nurturing their talents. The forty-second annual "Outside The Lines" youth showcase is putting the spotlight on artwork by K-12th grade students and instructors from a dozen Greene, Columbia and Schoharie county schools. 

“Outside the Lines'' gives students the unique opportunity to exhibit their artwork in a professional gallery and allows visitors to see a wide cross-section of the diversity and promise of our region’s young, creative talent. CREATE’s extraordinary annual exhibit is made possible by the participation of numerous teachers, administrators, students and their families.
