MADE HERE: New York Artists on Life
[vimeo http://www.vimeo.com/25442887 w=400&h=225]
The MADE HERE Project provides an insight on what it means to live in NY as an artists. They address many subjects we often talk about in the Junior Committee- having more than one job, integrating technology, reaching out to the community. To be a working artist in NY requires you to think creatively about how to make a living all the while trying to make a home for yourself. This can be quite challenging sometimes so it is nice to hear from a variety of artists in NY how they make it work. I chose to include this video above, one of my favorites, because it speaks about making a home in NYC.
There are ten series in total, with three episodes each. Each are about 5 minutes long and all are viewable on their website. It also airs on NYC Media, Channel 25 on most systems and Channel 22 on Cablevision, on Sundays at 11:00 p.m. and Mondays through Fridays at 3:30 p.m. You can also find other vignettes on their Vimeo. Be on the lookout for new episodes!
