Levi’s recognizes that photography is absolutely a core component of a new era of creativity. Here’s proof: check out their newest project, The Levi’s Photo Workshop. It’s a community photography collaboration venue located in central Manhattan (18 Wooster St. btwn Canal and Grand). Think free studio space, free camera rentals (even vintage), and a collaborative workspace. Levi’s Joshua Katz says this project is…
“…a way for Levi’s to offer a unique experience based around creativity and learning. Levi’s wanted to celebrate the pioneering creative spirit of artists and craftspeople in a way that would also hopefully turn others on to a new craft. As one of the original American work wear brands…Levi’s has a long standing connection to craftspeople and the workshops reflect a 21st century take on American craft.”

Impressive. Thanks for the blog, Chase!
Would be great in South Africa
Can’t wait to move back to NYC in a few weeks! Definitely be spending some time there!
Now THAT is a company worth supporting! I think that alone is reason to go out and buy a new pair of Levi’s. It is this kind of support of the creative spirit in the public marketplace that makes the present time so exciting for those of us who pursue the creative arts!
It’s like Legoland for camera nerds. I wanna go!
