Is New York Really The Only Place For Artists?

Monday, August 11th, 2008

I just submitted my final set of loans for my senior undergrad year and it’s crazy to think of how much debt I am in and what I am going to do when I get out. Most peoples plans who want to keep on doing photography seems to be move to New York. I also jumped on this bandwagon for a while (and am honestly still considering it) but is it the only place to go for art? I know that the Boston scene is sort of small but die hard, Portland is all young hip people but aside from that I guess I just do not get to hear a lot about where the good places are to work.

I am considering Denver which has a lot of cool things going on. New museums, lots of photographers, some people I know, cheaper living than NYC or Boston; all things that seem good to me. I suppose I am only writing this post because I am semi-freaking out that this is my last year of school and now I have to figure out my life in six months (when loans have to start being paid). I think that I’d like to prove to myself and the art world that NYC is not the only place for artists and especially me.

This post is boring and slightly useless I appologize for posting it.

Blogging is good for you, and so it must be done in great excess
