We were thrilled to bring artists of all disciplines together last week at our 3.5 day NYSCA/NYFA Artist as Entrepreneur Program with Saratoga Arts in Saratoga Springs, NY! ⁠
⁠
Thanks to the artists, arts leaders, and industry experts who joined us!⁠
⁠
On the program, participant Kelly Jean Smith wrote: "I learned a tremendous amount and I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have an intensive four days to learn, reflect, connect, and plan my next steps as an artist. A very valuable experience and admittedly a little sad to see it end."⁠
⁠
Stay tuned for more on upcoming programs, and if you represent a college, university or arts organization, consider contacting us so that we can bring this program to your arts community!⁠

Meet NYFA Fiscal Sponsorship project " ." ⁠
⁠
This clip is from an indie pilot for an eight-episode series by Project Director Dylan Kai Dempsey that focuses on rising YouTube star Lucas Skyler. Lucas is charismatic, controversial—and dead. ⁠
⁠
Twelve months after his death, fans gather at an over-the-top One Year Memorial. His two ex-girlfriends agree on only one thing: nobody knows the real Lucas.⁠

Inspired by Dylan Kai Dempsey's personal struggles, it aims to help at-risk teens deal with digital addiction by exploring online identity, internal conflict, and potential redemption.
⁠
