Artists Mean Business: Episode 6 with Sixty Inches from Center

Welcome to Episode 6 of "Artists Mean Business" with Jess Kaswiner. This week I met with the founders of Sixty Inches from Center, Nicolette Caldwell and Tempestt Hazel. We discuss what it takes to start a bold new project in the contemporary art world, regardless of the skepticism that may surround us. These women are a powerhouse to be reckoned with when it comes to grassroots and underground art happenings in Chicago; there is no doubt we will be seeing more of them in the not to distant future.
