Andrew Simonet on Living Sanely & Sustainably as an Artist

Long Table at General Meeting #4

We had an awesome time Sunday at Brooklyn Commune General Meeting #4 where we joined forces with the PRELUDE FESTIVAL and BROOKLYN COMMUNE  for a tour de force afternoon of drinking, mingling, discussion and the launch of the 2013 Performing Arts Census!

To start off the day,  Andrew Simonet (Artists U, Headlong Dance Theater) gave a presentation on “Why Artists Are Poor and Why They Shouldn’t Be”, which you can listen to here:

And then after an interlude of drinks & mingling,  we had  a Long Table discussion about the relationship between aesthetics & the economics of cultural production with super special invited guests including Clyde Valentin, Carla Peterson, Gelsey Bell, Annie Dorsen, Shonni Enelow, Arthur Aviles & a whole bunch of other, awesome, super genii.

More to come! Check out our social calendar on this site or on FB and join the fun!
