My first bohemian community but it's closing down

Boasting high ceilings and light-filled studios, the top of Carnegie Hall in Midtown, New York have housed artists, writers, and musicians for over a century; now, it seems that they have to move out. According to the New York Magazine:

The studios are in the process of being gutted and remodeled by the Carnegie Hall Corporation (the building is owned by the city, but the corporation is its primary tenant). According to a CHC spokeswoman, the spaces will be converted to “educational facilities” for young musicians.

So it seems that the studios will continue to have an artistic life, even though they will no longer be artists' homes.

This is the first bohemian community I have found in my researches. Unfortunately, it is closing down so I must continue my search for bohemianism.

Bye for now

Whence Bohemia, bohemians and bohemianism?

As an author and musician, I have often yearned for the close intellectual company of fellow authors and musicians on a day-to-day basis.

My working day is mostly spent writing, which is a solitary activity, interspersed with walks on the local moorlands close to where I live.

Recently, I have been investigating options for relocating my office and it occurred to me that there may be communities of artists, authors and musicians out there.

This blog is dedicated to the discovery and documentation of my researches into whether fellow artists, authors and musicians group together to live the bohemian life and where are their communities.

If you are an artist, author, musician or other creative person and are able to share information on Bohemia, bohemians or bohemianism, it would be most welcome.

Bye for now
