COPY

COPY places value on the creation of work rather than its critical or commercial reception. Through our online community, in-person events, and writing opportunities, we encourage creative collaboration and inspire artists regardless of their resources, audience, or connections.

Since we launched our community last summer, we have published over 160 articles to our website and have hosted screenings, performances, gallery showings, and readings with over 800 guests altogether. Our site is regularly updated with articles, as well as community boards that feature work from emerging artists in film, music, and visual art. Every week, we promote events across New York City and Los Angeles that align with our mission via our live community board and our social media.

We always prioritize uplifting artists, and consistently feature our contributors' work in creative and engaging ways on social media and in person. We also launched our first paid writing opportunity earlier this year, using funds raised from our in person events to engage community members that hadn’t been able to contribute. We look forward to continue to paying artists for their work on the site and at events, and to keep growing our community.
