When I first started watching Project Runway (that would be midway through season 2…how I miss Daniel Vosovic!) the same bad idea constantly popped into my head. What if they did something like project runway with creative writers!? In my mind, giving a group of people wacky prompts and seeing what would happen seemed fun. Then I remembered that television is not really the best media for writing. And that the literary taste levels in this country are widely varied and vastly frightening.
I got that my idea was just a stupid, reflexive way to foist my own creative outlet onto a TV platform. And now I’m not sure what to think about Sarah Jessica Parker’s decision to develop a Runway-esque reality show for artists. According to EW, the show
would feature a dozen aspiring artists competing against one another in various art challenges, from painting and photography to sculpting and industrial design.
I don’t know about you, but when I think ‘art,’ I don’t think contrived challenges and manufactured time constraints. It just doesn’t seem right. What will they do, replace the runway show with a gallery exhibit?

Respectfully, fashion is art so we are already there. It is just a trade in medium.
