We invite artists, performers, designers, and professionals in creative fields to participate in Art in Action New York 2025. Art in Action aims to explore new ways of showcasing art and creative projects while providing meaningful experiences and professional networks for artists, enthusiasts, and local and international audiences. Through challenges, collaboration, and commitment, we hope to inspire a new cultural movement, blurring boundaries between cultural creators from different backgrounds and languages, as well as between creators and consumers.
