This is our first Digital Spotlight vlog for This Is Art, a new comedy webseries about young artists struggling to stay afloat in NYC.
In this vlog, This Is Art Creators/Writers Emily Floyd and Anne Richmond discuss the second part of their project; an online database that will connect new media artists from around the world, give them a voice, and tell their story.

Hey Chad! That’s exactly the plan. We want to interview people about their work online and then put examples and links on the page as well so people can get a taste and then find out where they can go to get more. If you know folks that would be interested, by all means ask them to submit!
There is no age or even geographical limit on who can participate in our digital spotlights. We are currently accepting submissions at thisisartwebseries@gmail.com

After all, This Is Art (the web series) is a story about the way art is made, and This Is Art (the project) is a community for these artists to share their processes with one another. You’re going to see a lot more of that soon with our upcoming Digital Spotlight Series. [...]

So, two questions. Do you have an age limit on participants? Do you have to wear brown and orange tones to be interviewed?
Lead on and congratz on the spotlight. I sit in the dark, but seek the light.
