The Creamery in LaFayette, NY, has been a home to artists for over twenty-eight years. Before it was reinvented as artist community by multi-talented Syracusian Carl Geiger, the building had a long previous life as dairy creamery directly next to the once buzzing Onativia train stop. The train station is long gone and local farmers no longer drop off their milk for processing, but The Creamery still is a happening place.

Many Central New York artists have come through The Creamery. It is known for its commitment to artists and regular artist potluck parties. The Creamery sports artist studios, a group room for exhibitions and get-togethers, a beautiful garden with greenhouse, a basketball hoop, and a volleyball court where the Onativia station once stood.

After nearly three decades of artists in residence, it comes as no surprise to find a multitude of art works around the grounds, such as various sculptures, a lunar space station, the outdoor Plane-Tail-TV, a love egg (the last reminent of a 3-D labyrinth, and more. Five and a half artists and art-minded people currently live at The Creamery, including 9-month old Hanabe, who is currently learning to tame her first Crayon. Other art disciplines represented at The Creamery at the moment are video art, photography, painting and sculpture.
