  • About this series

  • UP CLOSE is an ongoing digital series commissioned by The Shed that explores what it means to think about the world and make art right now.  While our favorite gathering places like restaurants, cinemas, libraries and cultural organizations are closed, creativity endures and ties us together.  These digital commissions aim to continue connecting audiences and artists, building on the belief that access to art and culture is a right, and not a privilege.
