@joshuacharow: Inside the Most Unique Artist Studios in NYC. For five years, I rang thousands of doorbells to document more than 85 artists living in some of New York City's most unique studios for my new photography book, Artist in Residence. To purchase a copy, visit the link in my bio!

This is wonderful but it is also a sign of the priveledge Boomers have had.

There should be a foundation to keep these studios for artists when they pass on

These artists need to give their spaces to other artists when they pass. The Boomer generation really needs to start passing down instead of pulling up the ladder. For the generations behind them.

For all the people who envy these Artists: would you like to move into a place with no heating? No comfort? Dark and cold? These people renovated their spaces with little money and worked hard.

If any of them own the spaces , & care about the spaces staying with artists- they should draft contracts to be put in place that in the future only artists can rent the space & that the rent stays controlled. If they’re all renting, the city needs to come through, actions people!

They did what they could for their art and for their time. Old industrial spaces turned into homes and community. Happens all over the country. Area becomes desirable, $ moves in. Artists pushed out. Rinse and repeat.

It’s their responsibility to pass these spaces down to New Yorkers who are young folks and artists. We don’t have these kinds of opportunities now

This is so painful to watch. I feel so many things. Wonderful admiration all the way to bitter jealousy.

Please keep in mind when the artists took the lofts originally, it was not a desirable place to live. People saying they should give it up to younger artists miss the point. It’s the struggling artists who can move into undesirable areas and make it somewhere special. Then people with money want to move there and younger artists are priced out.

These people stayed in nyc through the 60, 70, 80 and 9/11 and covid. They legit deserve it. I mean nyc is popular now but there was legit a time when New York City was bankrupt and beyond dangerous.

Gee if only the really rich were cool and wanted to spend their money on preserving spaces like these instead of I don’t know- hoarding their wealth ✌🏼

Once things are lost, they are lost forever. This makes me cry, laugh, dream and think how much this will hurt once it’s gone 🥹
