what

connect

in—yc consolidates artistic events into one simple platform — on a map, on an app — so users can find new experiences, and artists can find new fans. artists can post events and performances they curate, and users can see what’s happening nearby and get all the info they need to attend.

expand

imagine the event possibilities artists might explore if they didn’t have to worry about marketing: if they knew that, if they build it, people will come. we help get the word out so artists can focus their energy on creating.

go

by keeping the interface clear and easy-to-navigate, we hope you spend as little time on it and your phone as possible. find an experience, get the information you need, and be on your way into the real world.

when

now

to begin, we’re focusing on new york’s music, poetry, and visual arts worlds. we’ve consulted the web, the magazines, and you — the posting creatives — to deliver a simple way to access the city’s arts scenes.

then

we won’t be stopping there. In the future, find open studios, salsa dancing, comedy shows, and more. discover new experiences and support the small- and medium-sized artists who make the city what it is.

later

new york is just the beginning. down the road, we’ll be your grassroots guide to the best artistic experiences every city has to offer, creating a global community to uplift local art. first, we’ll connect inyc. after that, we’ll be in—(y)our(c)ity.

where

here

new york is our first location, but not our last. the city that never sleeps is a great testing ground to develop, grow, and perfect. when that’s done, we’re getting even bigger.

there

large-sized american cities like chicago, san francisco, austin, philadelphia, and miami are next on our list of expansion as we continue to build the movement.

everywhere

the vision is global. wherever you are, we’re hard at work behind the scenes to be in—(y)our(c)ity.

how

enjoyers

whether you’re visiting a city for the first time and want to ditch the guidebook, or you just didn’t realize that the bar down the street from your apartment has live music, we have you covered. access both popular and off-the-beaten-path artistic happenings for free, filtering by price, location, source, or event type.

creators

alert people in your surrounding area — first in nyc, then elsewhere — to your event, performance, open studio, class, and more for $1 per post. we keep the barrier to entry low, while working to make sure your return on investment is high.

join

get involved

we’re starting by giving posting approval to a small group of artists, giving them referral codes to invite other artists in their communities, then giving codes to those artists. in this way, we’ll create an organic network of posting creatives, starting in nyc and then moving beyond.

of course, you’re welcome to join as a poster and community-member without a direct connection: reach out to us and we’ll be in touch with more information and a code.
