Used to know what this building was, Beaux-Arts survivor on 32nd Street in Kips Bay/Murray Hill.Sign above door says simply "Art is Work"...let's see, I believe this is a Design Center or an Art School or something...
Well, it's nice to know Art is not all fun and games, like Vincent Van Gogh...
Guess slogan like this reflects a certain defensiveness on the part of people in the arts...and true, look at atmosphere of Bush administration -- War is Necessary, Art is Frivolity... will America never lose its Puritan/Calvinist prejudice against the Arts?
