New York Art Life is an independent New York art magazine covering the NYC art scene every day. Founded in 2019 and based in Manhattan, we bring readers art news, exhibition reviews, artist interviews and weekly guides to the best shows in New York’s galleries and museums.
As a contemporary art magazine, we explore art, culture, design and fashion, and the creative movements that shape the city and resonate around the world. From major museum exhibitions to emerging artists in Chelsea, the Lower East Side and Brooklyn, New York Art Life tells the stories that define creative life in NYC.

We are everywhere New York lives: in subways and elevators, on terraces between a bagel and a coffee, among artists, thinkers and everyday people. Curious, hungry, and always thirsty for what’s next, we document the pulse of a city that never stops creating.
