  The monthly member run-down is a members-only newsletter. If you have any events, opening receptions, projects, or other information you’d like to share, please send the following information to info@nyartistsequity.org for the Monthly Member Run-Down:

  • A brief description of a event or project (no more than three sentences, please)

  • Information where the event will take place and one representational image for the event. As the association continues to invest and develop its online e-commerce, content management and third party partnerships, we request that you refrain from including outbound links and logos in your listing.

  • Please keep in mind that there will be 1-10 member posts per listing, which will be selected on a first come, first serve basis. There is a 2 listings-per-artist maximum.
