Creative.nyc

Creative.nyc exists to cultivate a community of redemptive artists in New York City. We desire the fame and deeds of God to be seen and known through the arts. 

New York serves as a home for artists across mediums and styles, and Church of the City hopes to reflect that deep well of creativity in our city. Whether you consider yourself an artist, want to explore new avenues of creativity, or have an appreciation for the arts, we want to invite you to join us at creative.nyc

COME & SEE COMMISSIONS

As part of the Living the Liturgy giving campaign, Church of the City has committed to commissioning artists to create new work to lift eyes to the maker of heaven and earth. This Summer, ten artists were selected for the "Come & See Commission". Each artist created around the 'I Am' Statements of Jesus, and throughout the Summer, they participated in a cohort to discuss the book of John, pray, and share their artistic process with one another. 

This collection of work was on display in a gallery experience from September 6-16. You can learn more about their journey from beginning to end through our first mini documentary here.

Create

No matter the medium, we welcome you to create. Creative.nyc hosts monthly meetings, that can look very different.

Salons: Cultivated spaces for artists to create around a specific theme, share work with the community, and engage in thoughtful conversation.

Sessions: Spaces for artists in our community to teach on a specific medium and invite others into engaging with it through practical application.

Taste & See Experiences: Evenings focused on communion between artists over a meal and commissioned performances from members of our community.
