History's pages are filled with dark times, and we have been broken many times. We are being tested now. Would humanity hold? Would community fail? We are looking up to the stars for hope, but a lot of stars have gone out. I fear that we are slipping. The cracks in the pavement are widening. We could fall through at any moment, and no one will catch us. We need hope, and for hope to survive, the stars have to shine. We need the dream makers, and those artists need a home, where they could thrive.

An unlikely apartment building nurtured the careers of a generation of artists and helped to change the future of New York City.
