Artists as ‘Creative Problem-Solvers’ at City Agencies

Saw this interesting article in the New York Times and I thought I would share it with the class. It's about artists who are doing the residencies in unconventional fields and using their art as a political statement to collaborate in non-art sectors. The article is about "Ms. Lindley is one of four artists who was selected this year for the City’s Public Artists in Residence program, or PAIR, which is managed by New York City’s Department of Cultural Affairs. The program, which began in 2015, matches artists and public agencies, and the artists are tasked with developing creative projects around social issues."

This article is short but talks about artist-activists so if you want to read the rest of the article here is the link --> https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/05/arts/design/public-artists-in-residence-new-york.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Farts&action=click&contentCollection=arts&region=stream&module=stream_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=4&pgtype=sectionfront
