The Living Room is NYC’s first depth collective.
Our simple belief:
We’re built for connection. The city no longer is.
Consistent, creative community brings it back.
About the model.
Each month, The Living Room centers around a prompt shaped by life in this city (e.g., What have you had to give up to live in New York City?)
Five artists respond to the prompt in their medium (e.g., food, film, dance, music)
Creative expression allows members across age lines to access and share what is hard to feel, understand, and communicate.
~4 gatherings per month
A consistent group of ~150–200 members
Breakout spaces (writing workshops, listening rooms, etc.) across the month
For those who feel like something is missing in how we connect, create, and process life in this city
