Let’s Talk: NHP Writers in Conversation
Beginning in the fall of 2025, The New Harmony Project is facilitating conversations between groups of NHP artists on topics impacting the artists and our art form. The conversations will be transcribed and hosted right here. These conversations will serve as time capsules, featuring living artists creating today talking about this immediate moment.
Why? Because change begins when we are able to name what is happening in our community.
September Let’s Talk: Politics
The political landscape has exacerbated a moral divide in the United States. Artists are facing battles on multiple fronts, from personal identity, to a scarcity mindset of artmaking, to our differences being pointed out as failings of a community, rather than strengths. How are artists responding to this moment in time? How is it impacting their work? And what is their responsibility, on a social level, to engage with the topics of the moment?
february Let’s talk: Parenthood
Pursuing an artistic life requires dedication and determination, against sometimes incredible odds. And artists who are parents often struggle with a lack of support and sometimes face outright discrimination. The New Harmony Project believes firmly in supporting parent artists, but not all organizations have the same mindset. Is it possible to be a parent and an artist? How do parent artists make it work? How can the industry better support them? What have they done to make it all possible?
