Happening Wednesday, June 12: QUESTIONS, CURSES & BLESSINGS, an outpouring of poetry from Barbara Ungar’s Advanced Poetry class recently held in Glenville.

Located at 137 State Street, Schenectady, C.R.E.A.T.E. Community Studios is the new venue for the 2nd Wednesday Open Mic series that used to meet at Arthur’s Market. There’s a bus stop out front and plentiful parking along State Street and Liberty Street, plus a free parking lot behind the building.
Readings begin at 7:30. Doors open for the open mic signups at 7pm (no earlier, please, because private meetings may be in session). Admission is free; coffee and tea are available for a donation.
