WC BLOG

Working Class Magazine represents a community of local artists in New York. We are a free Brooklyn-based web and print zine that showcases talent from all corners of the art world: writers, photographers, poets, illustrators, street artists, small business owners, actors and musicians. With New York as our vibrant - and sometimes brutal - backdrop, Working Class taps the pulse of the art world and discusses why we all stick around. Check us out at workingclassmag.com.

RIP 5 Pointz As Brooklyn changes more and more, WC contributor Caroline Bach, took some time out to chat with 5 Pointz founder, Jonathan Cohen, more commonly known by his tag, Meres One, about the news that the graffiti mecca at Jackson and Crane in Long Island City, is being transformed into a luxury living/shopping megaplex, inevitably sending smaller mom and pops shops into early retirement, all while pricing out any remaining artists that helped make the community desirable to live in, in the first place. Is this the New York of 2012? Click here to read the story.
