NOCD-NY is a citywide alliance of artists, neighborhood leaders, activists, and policymakers that have joined together to revitalize New York City from the neighborhood up. NOCD-NY came together in 2010 in response to the vision, sustained needs, and creative resilience of our diverse communities. We facilitate peer learning, increase the visibility of community-based work, and advocate for it.

 

Our work is grounded in shared values including equity, racial justice, self determination, and collaboration. Our artistic vision and asset-based approach recognizes the powerful culture that already exists in communities and we support liberatory art that is dialogic, participatory, and builds agency.
