About Index

Index NYC Press Kit

Index NYC is a shared studio and community space. We value democratic decision-making, and creativity in service of hopeful futures, not corporate profits.

Index also produces peer-led programming online like courses, workshops, artist talks, and other forms of digital gathering.

At our physical space, which opened June 2023, we are interested in providing shelter for a community of people seeking connection, inspiration and solace in shared resources, knowledge, and ideas.

Fall programming

In fall 2023, we’d like to plan a programming series that assembles our existing community of studio members, New York-based PALs, and everybody else, while welcoming in new and diverse audiences of likeminded peers.

<aside> 🧑‍💻 Our digital programs enable us to expand the breadth of our audience, including people who aren’t based in urban creative centers to participate in the discourse and learn from one another.

Programs might include…

We’re looking for a programming partner to help our team discover and facilitate notable cultural happenings at Index this fall. This person should be able to tap into a diverse (ie, not all graphic designers, crypto lords, etc) roster of people who’d be excited to host programs at Index. All logistical event production (registration, marketing, administration) will be done by the Index team.
