Art Walk 2020 • Sid Ceaser Virtual Interview

Art Walk Nashua happens once a year and it’s an open studio event where artists and businesses from all over (but mostly downtown and in the Nashua mill yard) open their studios up and invite visitors to stop in, ask questions and learn about all the awesome stuff located in Nashua.

2020 was different; Covid-19 shut everything down and people couldn’t go and gather in groups to visit studios and businesses.

City Arts Nashua (those in charge of Art Walk Nashua) teamed up with Nashua’s local public access television station Access Nashua, and we interviewed artists in their studios that would be broadcast on public access as well as streamed online. We made a weekend event into a week-long event and I think it went pretty well all things considered.

I even got to be the host of all the interview stuff.

The video above is a 20 minute interview with me in the studio. It gave anyone who watched it a chance to get to know me a little better.

If you have any questions after watching this, please leave a comment down below and let’s keep the discussion going!

Enjoy!

"Meet Sid Ceaser" • Boston Voyager

Boston Voyager featured an article about me back in September of last year. You can read it here.

Right about the time I posted this in September on social media, Boston Voyager started to get a bunch of negative press on how they conduct their interview process. I didn’t experience anything crooked or underhanded; they interviewed someone else and at the end of the interview questions, they ask the person to recommend 5 other people that might be interested in being interviewed. Someone had given my contact info, and I was asked. I did the interview and at the end I suggested five artists who I thought would appreciate the FREE PRESS of having an article about them that they could then link to.

That’s it. That is all this website is doing. They populate their website with free interviews. They ask for more people, probably to create some kind of marketing list or database, and that’s pretty much it. After the article came out someone did contact me asking if I’d like a buy a framed version of the article that I could hang on my wall, which I declined, but that was the only “hard sell” I got.

Everything felt totally legit to me. It only took a little of my time answering the questions, I get featured on a website that I can then hotlink to and add it to my list of “cool things about Sid” for people that want to dig deeper and read up about me.

Either way, I’m happy with what I wrote, so if you are interested in digging a little deeper about me, give it a read :)
