knowing where to draw the line

According to the National Endowment for the Arts, artists make up only 1.4 percent of our American labor force.

As you’d imagine, New York City is home to more artists than any other American city, with 140,915 people engaged in art’s creation. 

Many live in the ClockTower. Are you one of them?
