Why is it happening?
In New York City, the lack of creatives of color is astounding, as CUNY’s Guttman College found 80.5% of artists represented by the galleries are white, according to a recently published study. The college analyzed the demographics of 1,300 artists represented by New York City’s top 45 commercial galleries. Xposure presents a unique opportunity for creatives of color – artists, photographers, performers, and more – to be featured on the blog and generate awareness of their art, services and talent.

What can you expect?
Attendees will enjoy music, food, drinks, and more while being taken through the first-of-its-kind Xposure experience.
