Our Goal

Upstairs NYC’s goal is to empower every New Yorker to take ownership of their own culture and to unite with others. In this way, Upstairs NYC can be the platform where people can interact with each other and find what they’re looking for, whether they’re looking for knowledge, experiences, or new friends. Upstairs NYC plans events end-to-end, from ideation to execution, including everything from PR to cultural relations.

Upstairs NYC’s events also provide a forum for showcasing New York’s local creators, thereby providing participants the opportunity to connect with future trend-setters, creators, and collaborators.
