"As artists, participating in our community is just as important as making art. We want to be part of the neighborhood and also part of a larger conversation that is happening in contemporary art. We are surrounded by artists making powerful work with different voices. We’ve all got something to say and the breadth of artwork deepens the dialogue.” Today on Maake's Artist-run we talk with the founders of Elijah Wheat Showroom Carolina Wheat Nielsen and Liz Nielsen about artist-run spaces support artists, the lively community in Brooklyn, and whats up next for the space, and lots more. Full interview online, link in profile! Questions by Emily Burns @emaschillin Issue 8 was curated by Shannon Goff and Roxanne Jackson.
