Well Foundation family, it looks like our beloved building at 27 is toast. There’s so much to do, so much to say, but all we can do is take it day by day. Hour by hour. We have been retrieving anything and everything that might be salvageable from the mud and debris, hoping to return it to the artists, or there have been suggestions of a salvage sale. That may not be organized for quite a while, as right now we still don’t have running water to clean everything up. We’ve been grateful to connect with other artists at the space we all loved so much, to be assured of their safety and connect in our grief. Some artists have had devastation to both their homes and their livelihoods in the studios. Thank you to everyone who has reached out, and I’m sorry we haven’t been able to get back to you all. We’ll continue to provide updates here, and try to communicate with everyone as best we can as we navigate this new normal. Yesterday while working we were interviewed by the Wall Street Journal and The NY Times. The WSJ article is out today (last photo). It’s hard to ask for help when so so many people are hurting, but a dear friend has set up a gofundme to support us as we work through this disaster. If you feel inclined, you can find that link in our bio. 💙
