“I like you just the way you are.” - Mr. Rogers
Have you ever have had a need and wished that there were people who understood and were able to come alongside you and give you support? As a creative person especially, there are often times when you have looked around and thought “how do I really get on my feet and do this?!?”. Well, if you lived in Vermont than you would need to look no further than Burlington’s New City Galerie, where Joseph Pensak is the founder and curator. Joseph has found a way to realistically support up-and-coming artists in his community. Through a residency program, the gallery brings local artists into this encouraging environment.
How does Joseph know what artists really need? Because he is one himself. He has recently been able to come back to his love of music, and has written and is recording his second album through his alias Hallowell. He has also listened to those in his community, reaching out for a year asking what people were looking for, before starting the program. So here you have a man who is unique in how he has decided to give back to the world around him. And the stories he has… they are worth the listen!
Hope you enjoy.
