Join Perfect City, headed by Lewis Center faculty and former Princeton Arts Fellow Aaron Landsman, on Zoom this summer! We want to build community knowledge with you and talk about how we can change the city together. We’ll read about the history of race, the future of activism, and ways we can be in solidarity against street harassment. Perfect City is a 20-year art and activism working group based at Abrons Arts Center on the Lower East Side. Our focus is on gentrification; we believe young people who grow up in NYC deserve more of a voice in making the city work for everyone. Come learn with us.

Participants will be guided through exercises, personal assessment, and group discussion to develop strategies and methods for directing your art career with an entrepreneurial toolkit. These will include a framework for assessing your own artistic practice as an act of entrepreneurship, a method for evaluating the business landscape within which your art exists, and an approach to create strategies for effective action, communication, and positioning within the arts and business ecosystem. You will also learn a method for budgeting your life and work that helps you meet your goals and adapt to the changing art market, and strategies for time-management that prioritize your creative time.
