in-yc

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.

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. discover new experiences and support the small- and medium-sized artists who make the city what it is.

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, in—yc has you covered. access both popular and off-the-beaten-path artistic happenings for free, filtering by price, location, source, or event type.

artists using in—yc can post the details of their events — concerts, open mics, gallery shows, and more — which will then appear on the simple, interactive map. users can easily see those events and all the details they need to attend.

creatives share posting access to the app via a referral code system that allows them to invite other artists to post. these codes ensure that the movement for creatives is grassroots — and that the events posted are authentic and verifiable. no bots, no scams.

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.
