Westbeth Artists Housing starts its own post-it therapy project, ‘Write Now’
A West Village exhibit is taking a page from the fluttering layers of post-it notes scrawled with messages of hope and frustration that have cropped up in underground passageways around the city since the election. The “Write Now” exhibit is adopting the zeitgeist—this apparent need among New Yorkers to both purposefully express their feelings and strengthen a sense of community—and is taking it a step further. It’s recognizing the post-it note trend as a very organic form of public art. “The one we have here is different because we ask for very poignant questions that help lead people through this feeling of what are we going to do? What now?” George Cominskie, president of the Westbeth Artists Residents Council, told Metro.
