Hi everyone! I’m Kate and I’m cohosting an exhibition closing party for Geraldine Javier at Silverlens Chelsea on Oct 24 at 4pm. We’ll have snacks and drinks to celebrate Filipino heritage month, and the very last day to see the exhibition.

Would love to see you if you can make it!

I cofounded 603 Arts, which is a nonprofit providing exhibition support for emerging artists worldwide, particularly those from Asia and Latin America. We also host community events* *in NYC centered around underrepresented artists

Hello! Hobbyist photographer here in Manhattan working on a new project where I photograph folks in their home (or place of their choosing) doing anything they want. You just tell me where to show up. It can be something action oriented or simply your daily routine. You can pose or not. You can wear a mask or dress however you’d like. Dms are open if you’re interested! 34m, married, sane/safe here haha.

I am hosting my first ever figure drawing class. I have been modeling for years and will be hosting and modeling my own class along with another model.

Since it is my first time the class is free

It is 10/18 at 5:00 PM at Arts On Site in the East village.

Hey ya'll! We're LalaTiDo, and we wanted to invite creatives and people who want to learn a new skill to our paper-making workshop in Brooklyn near Prospect Park! - https://luma.com/yumebk-064i

We are queer artists looking to make experimental art feel more accessible. Come learn how to make your own handmade paper! From scraps to pulp to unique paper to use however you choose!

We will be taking you through each step of the process, including methods of recycling old paper scraps, decorating with flowers and plants, and incorporating fun materials like glitter and confetti to fully personalize your paper!

Students will take home paper-making knowledge, pre-made pages that we’ll have prepared for them, and the 5+ sheets of paper they make themselves that will be available to pick up at a later date (paper needs 8 hours to fully dry).

See you there! :3c

i'm hoping to get a better sense of her legacy in the contemporary art scene and how she impacted those who followed her. if you're familiar with her work and persona and would be interested in sharing your thoughts, please drop a comment or send me a DM!

p.s. this is purely for a class assignment and won't be published anywhere.

Hey everyone,

I'm a painter based in Brooklyn and currently planning a solo exhibition. I'm hoping to find a curator to work with and figured I'd ask here in case anyone knows someone or could point me in the right direction.

I'm still figuring out a few things and would love to connect with someone who's interested in being involved in the process.

Any recommendations or introductions would be really appreciated. Happy to share my work and more details with anyone interested. Instagram @ ohdarij

Thanks!

I am being told there will be 100 artisans participating. I'll be there with my woodcuts

Acrylic on canvas 8x10

Deadline extended to Sunday!!!

Hi! I run a zine for local art in NYC and am currently looking for work for the next issue, which will come out this December. We've featured poets, fiction writers, painters, tattoo/henna artists, fashion designers, etc. -- literally anything is welcome. If you have any art you'd like to share, email me at fingerfoodzine@gmail.com ! You can also message me here or insta at Louisa.zerbo, but email is best

The zine is called Finger Food, and if you'd like to see previous work or read our mission statement, you can check out our Substack here: https://substack.com/@fingerfoodzine

It's been really fun getting to work with various artists, and I look forward to collaborating with/meeting more as time goes on. I'm thinking either for this upcoming zine in December or the next one (in March), I'll try and set up an art show with those who are featured in the zine, where they can sell prints, booklets, even zines of their own, etc. I figure that'll take a lot of work to put together, so if that's something that interests you and you'd like to get involved, please do!

\* if you sent an email please instead DM HERE or on insta @ittyislandnyc* *\*

Hi! I’m looking for a local NYC artist to create a small hand-drawn portrait of my wife as a birthday gift.

A while back, my wife saw someone doing portrait sketches in the city and thought it would be really cool to have one done, but we didn’t get the chance. Her birthday is coming up, so I thought I’d surprise her with one.

I’ll provide a photo to work from. I’m looking for:

• A small physical drawing, around 4×5 or 5×7
• Pencil/graphite or charcoal
• Black and white
• A realistic but still hand-sketched style similar to the reference image attached
• Completed by Wednesday, October 14 (maybe Thursday if needed)
• Pickup somewhere in Manhattan

My budget is roughly $50–$75, but I’m open to discussing pricing depending on the artist/piece.

If you’re interested, please DM me with a couple examples of similar portrait work and what you’d charge. Students and newer artists are absolutely welcome as well.

Thanks!

W art

We have two fall watercolor sessions coming up at Buunni Coffee Haven Plaza in Washington Heights this week for anyone looking to paint, learn some watercolor basics, or just take a creative break. Both are led by local watercolor artist Tamila Dubas.

🍂 Thursday, 5:30–6:30 PM — Watercolor Happy Hour (final session at Buunni)

We’ll be painting a new fall-inspired watercolor scene. It’s just one hour, with time to practice some basic techniques before Tamila guides us through the painting step-by-step.

🎨 Saturday, 11 AM–1 PM — 2-Hour Fall Watercolor Workshop

If you’d rather have more time to settle in and paint, Saturday is our longer session. Tamila will guide us through a festive pumpkin + gourd composition, with plenty of room to experiment and make the painting your own.

Both are beginner-friendly, all materials are included, and you’ll leave with a finished fall painting you can frame at home or give as a handmade gift. Guests also enjoy 15% off café purchases.🍂

Our Saturday painting + craft workshops at Buunni will continue, with more artists, mediums and projects coming to LaLaLu soon.

Hi I have projects I want to work on, but can’t seem to find the motivation. Does anyone know of any open studios in NYC? I look for classes that just provide motivation to work on your individual projects, but i don’t really see anything. Does anyone know of anything though?
