The Museum solicited photographs from artists via an open call on their website, Facebook group, Flickr groups, and outreach to Brooklyn-based arts organizations.

For example, in Santa Cruz there is a huge community of creative people who identify as artists in non-traditional media.

I had a healthy second life as a slam poet, and I loved the world of artists and performance.
