After reviewing the regulations related to the WGA Strike, the Gotham Week Project Market will not take place this year. The decision to cancel the Project Market for the first time in our 45-year history is a difficult but necessary one. We remain committed to supporting our community and helping to advance creators’ projects and careers.
