ABOUT
IMMATERIAL
PROJECTS

Based in New York City
Founded in 2023

Immaterial Projects is an artist-run curatorial collective committed to building community within the arts through collaboration, experimentation and public engagement.

We believe that no artist exists in a vacuum and that individual success is shared by the entire community. Our goal is to create a welcoming corner of the art world, one that fosters slower creative development and emphasizes friendship and mentorship. We put on shows, organize panels and empower artists with a wide variety of voices and perspectives.
