I run an artist management company called project01collective, an LLC I co-founded with a close friend. What started as a passion project between two friends turned into a growing network of 15 artists we now support and promote through curated experiences, social media presence, and real-world opportunities. Our mission is simple: connect artists with the world in a way that feels fresh, exciting, and real.

Project01Collective Presents: A New Kind of Night in NYC
Where Art, Music & Movement Collide — July 26, Downtown Manhattan

New York’s cultural calendar just got a brand-new highlight — and you’re invited to be part of the beginning.

This July, an exciting new creative force will light up downtown NYC with a night of immersive art, live music, electric dancing, and unforgettable connection. Project01Collective, a fresh and passionate group of artist-visionaries, is launching its very first event: a one-night experience bringing together 15 emerging artists and musicians in an avant-garde fusion of performance, gallery, and nightlife.

It’s not just a party. It’s a platform.

The Concept
Project01Collective is more than an event — it’s a movement. Founded by a tight-knit crew of lifelong friends and collaborators, most of whom met at the Avenues NY private school, the collective was born from years of creative cross-pollination, trust, and shared vision. The founders grew up sketching in margins, jamming in basements, and trading big dreams in group chats. Avenues nurtured their creative instincts, but New York City sharpened them — and now, they’re bringing that spark to the public.

Their goal? To create an inclusive stage for emerging talent and an unforgettable space for art lovers, dancers, and curious minds to come together. Each event will feature a rotating lineup of handpicked artists, offering them exposure and opportunity in a city that doesn’t always open its arms to new voices.

The July edition is the beginning — the pilot of what’s planned to be a recurring series that spotlights fresh talent and builds a dynamic new arts community, one soul-stirring night at a time.

What to Expect
Held in a converted downtown warehouse with high ceilings, moody lights, and industrial-chic grit, the event will be an explosion of sensory creativity:

• 15 visual artists, sculptors, installation designers, and experimental creators exhibiting their latest work

• Live performances from emerging indie musicians, DJs, and vocalists (expect genre-bending sets)

• Open dance floor vibes + spontaneous movement installations throughout the night

• A curated bar featuring custom cocktails and partner brews from our event sponsors

• Immersive visual installations and Instagrammable art corners (yes, it’ll be camera-roll heaven)

This is the kind of night that starts with a sketchbook and ends on the dance floor.

The Details

• Date: Friday, July 26 Location: Downtown NYC (venue reveal coming soon)

• Tickets: $20-$25 (sliding scale, limited capacity — early bird strongly recommended)

• Dress code: expressive, experimental, or whatever makes you feel free

Why You Don’t Want to Miss It
In a city overflowing with events, Project01Collective is doing something different: blending high-art intention with underground intimacy. You’ll not only see stunning work from artists on the rise — you’ll meet them, toast with them, dance next to them. It’s like crashing the best afterparty to an art school grad show you didn’t know existed.

And because this event is grassroots and heart-forward, you’ll feel it in every detail — from the hand-screened flyers pasted up around SoHo to the curated playlist of unreleased tracks to the fact that someone’s cousin built the DJ booth from salvaged gallery panels. It's local. It's real. It's alive.

Let’s build something new — together.
This isn’t a corporate mega-festival. This is the seed of the next cultural wave. And you’re on the guest list.

This upcoming event is one of our biggest moves yet. For just $20, you’ll get access to an all-ages experience that blends the spirit of a gallery show, a music venue, and a pop-up social space. The idea is to erase the lines between artistic categories — because creativity shouldn’t be boxed in. We’re bringing the party and the meaning.
