Will Staecy, friend of Bond Street and talented photographer, notified us today that he’s offering a set of limited edition prints at an affordable price point ($150). After a major rent hike, he’s had trouble pulling together the funds necessary for a move and he’s calling on the photo community for a bit of help. I admit my first reaction was, “Hey, my landlord just raised my rent too and we all find New York rents hard to handle,” but what happens when artists are priced out of the city that’s supposed to be center of creative production? If we’re not supporting our artists, where does that leave us? I can’t imagine a society without creative energy and innovative works and that unfortunately requires at least the most basic resources…
And while we’re on the subject of art for a cause: http://www.artforobama.net/
