There are so many "New York" stories about how people end up moving to the city. There's often a sense of destiny or a surreal set of circumstances that precipitate moving to New York, and for many artists that sensitivity to the attraction of NYC can be heightened by the ever-present creative energy that abounds from every corner. 

Brooklyn currently serves as the cultural epicenter for many creatives who dream of a larger platform for their work, and who often seek to tap into and contribute to the borough's never-ending reservoir of talent and ideas.
