Season 2 Episode 17 Soapbox Gallery

Jimmy Greenfield is not or only a noted artist but the owner and director of a unique and special venue in Brooklyn, New York called the Soapbox Gallery.Dedicated to presenting music with an emphasis on jazz, performance and works of art that engage the issues of our time, Soapbox was inspired by the idea that a simple, humble box–that one stands on and delivers a speech from–can start a movement and perhaps even help to change the world. During these unprecedented times, Soapbox Gallery has been committed to keeping music alive by providing artists of all types a safe and professional environment to perform. Musical performances are both live with an audience in-house as well as live-streamed.  Since May, Soapbox Gallery has been presenting live-streams six days a week from Greenfield’s former sculpture studio. Its state-of-the-art, three-camera system provides a great view of the action, and video overlays are increasingly a part of the performance equation, providing a unique multimedia experience.
