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.”

WOW! Very impressed. I am sure it will pay off with creativity. I bet there is a great resource of photographers out there who just can’t afford studio and equipment. It would be wonderful to see what comes out of that studio.
Now, if only it included flights to get there 😉
All I can say is, WOW! This is so cool. I wish we had something like this in our area.
Looks great! I will check it out…
Yeah, wondering about the booking issues as well…seems too good to be true. I guess that’s the cynic in me.
now that is something big… I hope they will do it in other cities across the world
