Art Actually Isn’t Dead

from Pessimistic at Best · host Samantha Georgson / Jacob Bracey

Something that sucks about being a “creative” is that, on occasion, you find yourself in a job that actually stifles your creativity—ironic, isn’t it? But hey, that’s capitalism, baby! The good news is, that hasn’t stopped my friend Jacob, not even a little bit. He’s one of the most talented photographers and artists I know, and if you try to tell me otherwise I WILL report you! Anyway, join us for a conversation about art, sleep schedules, our preferred vices, and more—only if you dare!P.S. Jacob has a really neat project he’s working on and he needs our help. He’s working to raise money to launch Black Point Studios, a multi-faceted workspace geared towards the creative community. “Opening Black Point Studios is more to me than an artist workplace. It's a space where artists can come to feel comfortable, and at home with their ideas. Every two months the studio will select four in-house residents from the Black & Brown community.”Help him reach his goal by THIS FRIDAY 11/12, and if you contribute $100+, you’ll even receive a limited edition print of your choice from a resident artist.
