ABOUT 8 to CREATE

8 to CREATE is a Registered Student Organization at the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign. Our goals are:

1) to make the typically private process of creating artwork accessible and open to the public for observation, engagement, and participation; and

2) to break down institutional and social hierarchies by bringing together a mix of artists from a variety of experiences and affiliations in one creative space.
