The only guide to art life you'll ever need.

Art life. Not just seeing art, but living it. Letting it inspire you, stir you, reconnect you with the city around you – and maybe even yourself.

But you can’t always get there alone.

Beholdr is part art life concierge. Part creative intervention.

We’re here to throw open the doors, introduce you to some new art friends, and plunge you into the creative soul of the city.

Art as medicine. That's what we're prescribing. Art as a way to immerse yourself in the city, become part of the community, and feel at home.

Art life starts with walking.

We believe the best way to tune into art life is on foot, by walking, pausing, noticing, and getting deep into the neighborhood.

Because when you truly behold art, when you hand your entire self over to it, it tells you who you are. It shines a light on your place in the world. It weaves a thread between you, ideas, and people you didn’t know you were looking for.

Start here.

We’re launching with a free, DIY, and highly opinionated map of downtown NYC art spaces.

You’ll also find places to eat, sip, and shop before, during, and after the art that locals love. Every art adventure needs fuel, after all.

Coming soon.

So take a look around. Dive into the map.

Before you know it, you’ll be the one saying... Welcome to the neighborhood.
