@zachsokol and I talked about SEEKING ENGAGEMENT and my obsession with being rejected in public for @interviewmag - thank you for the kind words and thanks to @camilo.fuentealba.brevis for these photos and @pizzaparty69 for rejecting me one last time. Full interview link in bayou. 💍
Honoured to be invited onto @ny1 with @shannanferry to discuss @seniorcentertainment - I am so lucky to be able to help support amazing seniors and centers with opportunities for creativity, expression, and most important connection. This is truly a community organization, and I am so Thankful for all of the people who show up at these centers with me and help make the magic happen. Thanks again To @afiaeama and @shannanferry for having me on. If you are a senior center looking for fun, artistic programming, a person who wants to get involved, want to donate to our mission, link in bio!

Thank you to reporter @rissnata and @nypost for their kind words about our show @likeoldtimes_show - i’ve said it before, but I’m so lucky to be a part of something so direct, fun, and impactful with seniors. Truly, a dream come true. Thank you to all the support so far, all of our amazing seniors, and to @vin_nucatola and @snackishmedia for making it happen. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

Johnny Gaffney is an artist, filmmaker, and creator of Senior Centertainment, a community-based organization that brings arts programming and opportunities for creative expression to senior centers across New York City.
His projects often start with real-life compulsions. Seeking Engagement is a dark comedy film based on his obsession with failed public marriage proposals, featuring 25 planned—but very real—rejections around the world. Sleep N Around is an ongoing web and IRL series in which he rents out his apartment and guilts friends and strangers into letting him sleep over. He is also working on a film about a recurring invasive surgery in his own life.
Much of his work unfolds in public space through honest, vulnerable, and chaotic encounters.
