The Farm Team: ♥ GEN ART ♥

Brian Wood


Take a minute and be grateful* for 10 years of GEN ART, that presents and promotes work by emerging designers in cities like New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles.

While other countries pour government funding into incubating the future stars of fashion as well as supporting and promoting major players (ever wonder why London is so hot now? why we know the name Central St. Martins? why Brits helm major continental houses?...no accident.) in the US, the story is different. When Congress is willing to try to pull funding from public broadcasting, you know the will to find funding for culture is at an all time low. And never mind supporting the blend of art and commerce that is fashion.

Griping aside, three cheers for organizations like GEN ART that offer terribly necessary notice for serious designers as well as filmmakers and artists.
