Business Spotlight: Happy Medium
As we’ve mentioned in past issues of The Newsletter, putting this together each week is a form of healing by helping. By helping New Yorkers find fun ways to connect and create, we’re connecting to that past version of ourselves that struggled to find her way in Manhattan while juggling the pressures of city life and a demanding career.
I recently came upon a video of Nell Diamond (founder and CEO of Hill House) interviewing a woman in an artist’s smock. Upon further viewing, it was revealed that the woman in question—Tayler Carraway—was the former VP of Revenue at Hill House before leaving to go all-in on Happy Medium, the “arts club for casual artists” she’d co-founded. I thanked the algorithm gods for bringing this video to me, because Happy Medium is exactly the sort of place that I (and you as well, if you’re a subscriber) would go nuts for.
By publishing The Newsletter, partnering with social wellness brands and being an events host myself, its been interesting to observe that many of the —oftentimes women— we see behind fun, lighthearted brands are also intellectual heavy-hitters, with stacked resumes and an impressive skill set. Happy Medium was born from Tayler’s desire to achieve balance by sparking opportunities for creativity and child-like joy amidst the pressures and privileges of adulthood.
I’ll drop a link to their March calendar here. You can keep up to date with events held at their Manhattan and Greenpoint locations by following @happymedium on Instagram.
