| Support Art21: Join the New York Close Up Film Fund |
Fun Film Fund Fact #1: Many of the artist interviews seen in the first ten New York Close Up films hail from a marathon weekend shoot in a cavernous warehouse space in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Ten artists, four crewmembers, three production assistants, two producers/directors, and one gracious host (the 1896 Studios and Stages) all contributed to these three action-packed production days.
Fun Film Fund Fact #2: Membership in the New York Close Up Film Fund gives you the behind-the-scenes scoop of Art21's newest online documentary series, New York Close Up. Benefits range from exclusive sneak peeks of future films to invitations to intimate parties with the artists.
The Film Fund is open for only two more weeks! We hope to reach 100 Film Fund members before the summer ends. Join now to gain access to New York Close Up events and films before the general public--become part of the Film Fund network today!
