Karen Chambers talks about financial uncertainty during NYEGW’s early years. Oral history interview with Karen Chambers by Catherine Whalen and Barb Elam, conducted via telephone, June 14, 2018, Bard Graduate Center. Clip length: 00:24.

Karen Chambers: Well, it was very—as I said—kind of loosey-goosey. We didn’t have a lot of money, we weren’t—hadn’t really developed a donor base, and so it was always kind of hand to mouth. We had tiny circulation of New Work, which was a tabloid.
