First Post! Artist Community learning about blockchain tech

Hello Steemit Community, We're The Con Artist Collective

---

Hello!

Hello, My name is Brian Shevlin and I help run The Con Artist Collective, an Artist run creative community located in the Lower East Side NYC. Back in 2010 before I ever heard of the term coworking, I opened a shared creative workspace out of a basement at 119 Ludlow street, in the heart of NYC's Lower East Side. This shared creative workspace and community has grown to 500+ members who organize shows, events, projects and more internationally. We currently still operate out of our original location but we've expanded, and now rent about half of our building, over 3,000 square feet across 3 floors. You can learn more about the community anytime from our website conartistnyc.com

About The Collective

---

After 8 years, we are still 100 percent artist run. With over 500+ members, we have every type of creative person involved from painters, sculpture, illustration, to sewing, graphic design, programming and so much more. Our 3,000 square foot shared workspace is available to any member who would like to apply for a residency, typically from 30 to 60 days long... although we also organize unique 1 and 3 day creative residency sprints as well. The idea of the entire collective is about Connecting Artists, which is also where are name comes from, and creating an easier organized system of creative opportunities for everyone. We're also quite social with regular weekly parties every Wednesday from 7-11pm, social events, game nights, crit clubs, meet ups, skill shares and so much more. We are open to new members joining anytime, just check out our website or get in touch.

Drop A Line & Say Hi Anytime!

We're stoked to connect with fellow members of this creative project, and we look forward to being active with our contributions. We have a small content creation team, typically a revolving group of members and interns, who are interviewing NYC creatives, creating videos and so much more. We look forward to sharing these with steemit and connecting with as many creatives as possible. Please reach out regarding any questions, or ideas!

Thank You! +Brian Shevlin & Brandon Wisecarver, The Con Artist Collective
