NYC Artists: Should I Stay or Should I Go Now?
The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
As rents keep rising, New York is an increasingly difficult place to be a working artist --- let alone an aging working artist. We look into the pros and cons of staying and toughing it out, for artists of all ages. Artist Estelle Levy has decided to stay, while artist Deborah Beck has recently moved away. Professor Joan Jeffri is director of the Research Center for Arts and Culture at Columbia’s Teachers College.
Weigh in: We’d like to hear from current and former aging New York artists. Is it worth it to tough it out in New York? Are you glad you’ve stayed/left?
