NYArts
NY Arts or NY Arts Magazine , was founded by Abraham Lubelski in 1995. In 2016, NY Arts celebrates its twenty first anniversary. Since its launch as both a web and a hard copy print publication, NY Arts Magazine has continued to be the fastest growing art portal in New York City. The information is updated daily, and our archives and newsletters include 2,000 galleries, 10,800 shows, 40,000 artists, and 35,000 images. Though NY Arts' focus is New York, our mission is to actively promote the understanding and appreciation of contemporary art worldwide. NY Arts provides easily accessible art information on a daily basis.
As a major alternative and controversial arts publication it offers exposure to unknown and up and coming artist. In its initial offering it presented such features as "Mob Rule" a monthly series of panel discussions of new works on exhibit. NY Arts continues to be the most accessible arts media resource. NY Arts was first in presenting entire transcriptions and articles on the internet, while in print there was an abbreviated limited version. This limitation of costly space, allowed NY Arts to introduce a much larger number of artists especially in print. In a major interview on ABC News - NY Arts the artist,[1] founder and publisher Abraham Lubelski indicated that "the internet is where all artists are to be discovered and promoted from now on." In keeping with its innovative approach NY Arts was the first in 1995 to offer a daily newsletter via e-mail with over 10,000 subscribers. Aside from its extensive international editorial features NY Arts Magazine assisted unaffiliated artists with publicity and promotional programs. This continues to be controversial since many artists continue to argue that money, art and publicity don’t mix.
Recent and past editors included: Matthew Hassell, Jason Stopa, Stefano Pasquini, Christian Viveros-Fauné. In keeping with NY Arts' original and basic approach of providing opportunity to unknown artist, writers and editors NY Arts has presented and offered opportunities to over 30 different editors, contributing editors, and guest editors, 50,000 artists, over 5,000 writers, who would otherwise have little or no exposure. Over 100 print editions have been published since its founding.
