Crystal Lyon

Multidiplary Artist | Designer | Project Manager

Owner of Living Illusion Studio

Living Illusion Studio is based in the Cortland Corset Building located at 75 East Court Street in Cortland, New York, on the 3rd floor in Suite 304.

My mission as a multidisciplinary artist and creative advocate is to:

• Find and transform spaces into creative environments, such as pop-up galleries and immersive art experiences.

• Find, encourage, and educate artists and non-artists in building creative confidence.

• Support artists in discovering or rediscovering a creative practice, regardless of its size or scope, that is right for them through creative advocacy and arts education. Art is for everyone!

• Continue to build a stronger, more supportive network of creatives, regardless of their skill level, within our community and beyond.

• Connect with creatives, art projects, and experiences beyond the local to enrich our community through new creative ideas and opportunities.

• Collaborate on projects across creative disciplines and achieve shared visions or support the visions of others through project development and execution.

• Consult on projects with planning and/or management, working with local and regional governments and organizations.

• Make more art!
