The Pow Wow’s mission is to curate a strong community of artists to promote entrepreneurship. The space provides an audience for these in-house artists and acts as an incubator for their creative endeavors. From fine art to performance art, graphic design to jewelry, The Pow Wow is a continuously changing hub for collaboration between mediums. At heart, it’s a destination that encourages and celebrates people’s individual artistic voices and supports the local community through a collaborative partnership. Additionally, The Pow Wow offers a cozy coffee shop, and hosts weekly events such as art exhibits, workshops and live performances.
The Pow Wow was founded for creative people of all backgrounds and through Rockethub, we plan to raise money to set up shop and begin truly supporting the ever growing creative class.
As we explore our options for a home base we are also producing events to introduce and showcase a continually growing Pow Wow community. Through these events and our Rockethub campaign, we aim to put down roots in the most collaborative city in the world, New York, NY.
A contribution to The Pow Wow is a contribution to the community.
We look forward to opening our doors to welcome YOU home.
Love,
Adam, Dora and Jesse
