About MAQET Collective


MAQET Collective hosts exhibitions, social events, and creates opportunities for artists at every stage of their careers. Beginning as a grassroots collective formed by Parsons graduates, its mission is to support New York’s creative community by creating spaces for artists without barriers to entry and encouraging open dialogue and audience engagement.


In its first year, MAQET has hosted five group exhibitions featuring more than 30 artists across a range of mediums and independently raised more than $5,000 through fundraisers. The collective also hosts Artists Talking Together, a weekly discussion group at Nook Café in Bushwick where members develop evolving prompts and invite artists and art enthusiasts to contribute their experiences, questions, and perspectives.
