Talking Art: Conversations from the Melting Pot of NY Creativity

Too often, the professional aspects of being an artist, like funding and marketing, dominate our thoughts and conversations. This panel discussion recenters the meaning and creativity behind the actual art through conversations with a diverse group of artists. 

On Thursday, July 17th, artists across mediums will get together at The Protagonist Festival – a monthly melting pot of NY creativity that’s part indoor street fair, part surprise variety show.  From crafters, painters, writers, and collectors, to songwriters, comedians, poets, and dancers, audiences are immersed in a lively bazaar of artistry, where something new happens every 15 minutes.

On Friday, July 18th, a group of artists from the festival will head to the Brooklyn Public Library for Arts & Culture to talk about the art they shared the night before. Join us for a deep dive into the stories behind the songs, paintings, dances, jokes, and more! 

• Hear directly from a unique mix of NYC-based artists about what drives their work
• Explore the personal, cultural, and emotional layers behind the art
• Connect with fellow creatives and art-lovers in the new Library for Arts & Culture, a public space dedicated to supporting the arts in an open, celebratory space
• Get inspired by the unexpected intersections of different forms of art
• Be part of a growing community that champions artistic expression 
• Leave buzzing with fresh ideas, new connections, and maybe even a new favorite artist or two

Panelists TBA!
