LOWER MANHATTAN — While the return of office workers has been a slow process, a group is working to bring energy to Lower Manhattan. Silver Art Projects finds sponsored studio space for artist. The first group is finishing a residency in 4 World Trade Center, where 25 artists have been working on the entire 28th floor since the summer. The non-profit is now accepting applications for the next group now. Joshua Pulman co-founded Silver Art in 2018, “What we found when artists moved in, the space was even more valuable than anticipated,” he said.
