New York Stage and Film has always been dedicated to creating community.
We focus on fostering an environment of artists supporting artists across the digital divide by adapting our programming to create tailored processes in order to meet the very real – very acute – needs of artists. Since March, we’ve creatively and financially supported over 245 artists and developed over 40 projects through our NYSAF NOW programming.
Your belief in supporting new work directly impacts artists and brings you into this artistic community we are so committed to fostering - even during this time when we cannot be together.
Meet some of the NYSAF Artists and find out where and how they find creative hope.
