Dear Friends, Artists, Entrepreneurs, Teachers, Students, Collaborators, and Readers -Hip Hip Hooray!
This week marks the 6th Birthday of Creative Times: A Blog for Artists and Entrepreneurs.
I have loved every moment of getting to bring you face-to-face interviews with artists (like living design legend Eva Zeisel in the photo above - she had just celebrated her 100th birthday!); the inside scoop on arts and culture events, premiers, performances and venues around New York; and images and resources to keep you, as creative folks, connected and in-the-know.
Thank you for being with me throughout this journey and for being a source of energy for this project!
