Following an ongoing public dialogue about the affordable space crisis within the creative community in New York as well as among our own community of artists, Skowhegan invites you to join us for a town hall discussion on March 27th. Panelists will navigate the realities of the cost of living creatively, the role of commercial real estate, and the activism entailed therein. Increased visibility for the issue has spawned a series of talks from various organizations, however a dedicated center has yet to be established. Our hope for this conversation is to identify current problems, desired solutions, and paths from the former to the latter. Four people with diverse interests and expertise in art, studio space, urban planning, and gentrification will launch a town-hall discussion led by Paddy Johnson. 

PANELISTS INCLUDE: 

Tom Angotti 
Jenny Dubnau
Shawn Gallagher
Diana Reyna
with moderation by Paddy Johnson
