Arts Services Inc. is thrilled to present Creative Professionals Exchange 2025, a one-day conference for artists, cultural workers, and community collaborators across Western New York.

This year’s gathering will take place on Friday, June 6, 2025, at the beautiful Road Less Traveled Theater in downtown Buffalo.

Our theme for 2025 invites us to consider a powerful question: How can creative work respond to community need?

Through hands-on workshops, panels, and time for connection, CPX will explore how artists and arts professionals can work in partnership with service organizations, advocates, and one another to build a more connected, responsive creative region.

If you’ve attended a past CPX, you’ll notice that this year’s format is a little different—but the goal remains the same: to provide space for reflection, inspiration, and meaningful exchange.

More details—including schedule, speakers, and registration—are coming soon.
