Assembly Room NYC was founded in New York City’s Lower East Side by three curators to grow a community of female curators across the country and the globe, gathering together to work, connect, and thrive. Prior to this, the founders provided each other with encouragement at times when they needed it. From their humble circle, they expanded and founded an informal monthly gathering, inviting freelance independent female curators to join their monthly meetings. Since 2018, Assembly Room has aimed to carry on this tradition of support and generosity that has fueled so many women-centered movements before us.

As of today, Assembly Room has organized four career advancement workshops for curators and has hosted monthly curatorial meet-ups since its inception, offering networking opportunities to its ever-growing circle of members and connecting them with peer organizations led by women or immigrants, such as, A.I.R Gallery, El Salón (founded by Eva Mayhabal Davis), Artfare, Ninth Street Collective, Female Design Council, Girls Club Collection, Crit, Educational Art Alliance, Asian American Arts Centre.

At the February 19th gathering, Becker, Gallio, and Topchiy will present the exhibition and open a critical dialogue with the curators in attendance.

The event is free and open to the public.
