November 17, 2022Good morning. ⛅ Today in labor news, staff at the Brooklyn Museum picketed in the rain outside a glitzy gala last night while part-time faculty at the New School declared an indefinite strike. These workers say that their wages don't meet inflation and New York City's ever-rising cost of living. Also, the Met Museum opens a massive exhibition of Maya art while another show in Queens is offering works for up to $75! Finally, today we published the 205th installment of A View From the Easel, a series in which artists reflect on their workspace. Why don't you tell us about your studio?
