ABOUT
Launched in 2018, NYC GROUP CRIT is an independent, artist-run collective with the intention to foster constructive, intergenerational environments and events that serious artists at all levels can and want to meet in. The collective praises low-brow and academia within the fine arts community, inviting foremost the need to resonate with other artists. Artists meet in person to receive feedback, push artwork to the next level, and spread opportunities supporting artists' practices and careers. Simultaneously, the collective seeks to encourage exhibitions, art writing, peer-to-peer exposure, and inspiration for more artist meetings across the country via its growing online platform and basic critique model.
NYC Group Crit is an initiative started by Izzy Nova (director) and Michael Krasowitz.
The line between Bushwick and Ridgewood runs east along Wyckoff Avenue until an unnamed cartographer (kär-ˈtä-grə-fər noun: a person who makes maps) possibly had a few too many and turned off of Wyckoff prematurely.
Little did this mapmaker know that he/she had created a unique pocket between these two neighborhoods that would thrive off of the creative energy of Bushwick and the neighborhood feel of Ridgewood. And thus was born the Bushwick/Ridgewood neighborhood, one of the hottest up-and-coming neighborhoods in New York City.
The BOX FACTORY GALLERY features work by early to mid-career artists with promising futures ahead of them. If you have ever considered investing in art, please make a viewing appointment, and one of our curators would be thrilled to talk things through with you. Art is an intimate investment but doesn't have to be intimidating.
