ABOUT
Who we are:
the locale creator is a student-founded and led organization through The New School. Founded in 2025, through the desire to gain more visibility on peers' works, Finley Banks and Liv Russo brought the publication to life. Our goal is to consistently support students' work and give them opportunities to find authentic connections across mediums.
What we do:
Each semester (Fall/Spring), the locale creator releases an issue of the publication, with a celebratory launch party. We are a growing organization and try our best to make every issue free for everyone. Nonetheless, your donations are extremely important to us. Donate here to fund the arts!
