Exclusive: Tribeca Festival announced plans for an all-new festival vertical dedicated to Creators, in partnership with Whalar Group, adding to its programming slate of Film, TV, Music, Audio Storytelling, Games and Immersive verticals. The new Creator vertical will bridge Hollywood with the growing creator space.
The vertical is set to launch with a talk at the 2024 Tribeca Festival, featuring filmmaker Archie Gips and creators Brandon Edelman and Coco Mocoe. The conversation will explore creators as the next wave of entrepreneurs, storytellers, community builders and publishers, and how they are redefining the entertainment industry. The talk will tackle topics such as engagement, fandom interaction, and authentic storytelling. Beyond the annual festival, the Creator vertical will also include a year-round talks series, taking place at The Lighthouse, Whalar Group’s physical campus for creators in New York and Los Angeles.
“Tribeca goes where our audiences go,” said co-founder and CEO of Tribeca Enterprises Jane Rosenthal.

Influencer marketing company Whalar thinks the creator economy has “outgrown the spaces, resources, and tools available to creators.”
So, under its new Lighthouse initiative, it’s opening sprawling, dedicated coworking and education campuses where creators–and their teams–will have access to everything from private offices and production studios to screening rooms and in-house coffee shops.
“[E]ach campus will combine learning and career development programs, state-of-the-art production studios, private offices, open-plan workspaces, and cultural-social events accessible through an application-based membership program,” Whalar said in a press release. (Sounds like these might help patch the hole left when YouTube closed all its Spaces in 2021…)
Whalar plans to open its first two Lighthouse campuses in 2024: one in Venice, California, in a building that was originally a post office built in 1937; and one in Brooklyn, built in a 19th-century former pencil factory. Both campuses have production facilities that include video-enabled podcast suites,...

As Miami Art Week and lead fair Art Basel Miami Beach wraps up its 21st year, by night there were fashion events, popups, concerts, dining debuts, cocktail soirees and philanthropy moments to match and exceed every by-day art buy. During the week-long festivities — in which the Magic City is taken over by celebrities, musicians, artists and collectors — star chefs, performers, credit card companies and fashion, liquor and watch brands were all heavily in the mix alongside dealers and collectors. For some, it was quite possible to spend an entire week traversing from the beach to Brickell and from Downtown to the Design District attending art-adjacent parties and never even seeing any of the fairs.
Here are the highlights of what happened around town when everyone was not looking at art.
