New York Close Up
Art21’s award-winning digital film series, New York Close Up, is devoted to capturing early-career artists living and working in New York City. Providing a unique window into the next wave of art-making in the city, Art21 collaborates with artists to tell stories about their creative processes, diverse backgrounds, and daily realities.
