THE DROP: URBAN ART INFILL is a festival of public interactive art, music, and fashion projects in New York City.

THE DROP: URBAN ART INFILL is a collaboration of designers, architects and curators with developers in Chelsea.

The Drop is volunteer-run and based on the idea of creating a self-perpetuating series of Arts projects. The main goal of The Drop is to provide space in the city for a wide range of emerging to established artists to show and make work, and interact with the city.

In the spirit of participation, THE DROP: URBAN ART INFILL is a double call to urban inhabitants to interact with and contemplate the city as well as their relationship to the greater environment through the arts. The festival seeks to provide space in the center of Chelsea and bring together developers, business owners, the art community and New York communities to think locally and globally.

A series of indoor and outdoor art projects, including music, fashion, and curated exhibition blurs the boundaries of artistic creatives into collaboration, asking artists and audience to intermingle, create dialogue in the New York community and rejoice.
