Creative expression deserves your attention.

Art is best encountered first-hand, with all five senses. Our suggestion is to decline optimization and not design to scale.

The New York Creative Society champions artists working beyond the reach of the market. Through exhibitions, performances, and salons, and with the support of a distinguished circle of patrons, the Society brings their work before the city's most engaged audiences.

Exhibitions

Considered presentations of new work, mounted in spaces across the city and shown without commercial obligation.

Performances

Readings, music, and staged work presented before intimate audiences, in rooms chosen for the work.

Salons

Studio visits, salons, and evenings in the company of artists, held in the rooms where the work is made.

Art in New York depends on people like you.

The New York Creative Society is sustained by the generosity of its members and patrons. Your support brings exhibitions, performances, and salons to audiences across the five boroughs, and helps keep New York a city where artists can make their work.
