In response to a continued need to develop story, connect, and share, we established NYSAF NOW - a flexible set of resources and programs to serve the needs of theater and film artists today. We have been honored to work with an amazing group of visionary artists.
We want you to join in celebrating them!
Through our Artist Spotlights, we've been able to talk to our artists about their creative process and the work they have developed during this virtual time.
