About the Project

BY SHIMO is an independent creative lab at the intersection of live experience and emerging technology. This project is a short-run, art-forward live storytelling event in NYC (March 6–7). It's designed as a ticketed interactive experience - side by side with a gallery exhibit. It's not a traditional performance or nightlife event. The goal is to gather a thoughtful audience of creatives, founders, brand leaders, and cultural operators who value experimentation and shared presence.

The Role

We’re looking for a culturally connected freelancer to help personally curate and invite the right audience across both nights, seeding the social layer. This is not a mass-promotion role. While we do want a good general audience, it’s about thoughtful outreach and one-to-one invitations.

What You’ll Do

Identify and personally invite individuals aligned with the tone and intention of the project
Leverage strong existing network and relationships across creative, founder, brand, and tech communities
Help shape who should be in the room
Collaborate closely with the creator on positioning and guest mix

What This Is / Is Not

✔ Relationship-driven, discreet, and taste-led
✔ Short-term, project-based freelance role
✖ Not social media marketing
✖ Not listing submissions or ad buying

Who You Might Be

Someone with real cultural access and strong judgment
Comfortable reaching out personally rather than blasting
Experienced in experiential, film, art, or culture-forward projects - think Genesis House, ARTECHOUSE, invite-only talks or gallery openings

Logistics

NYC-based or deeply NYC-connected
Short-term engagement (to start as soon as week of Feb 16)
Paid freelance role (scope and rate discussed directly)
If this sounds aligned, reach out with a short note about your background and the communities you’re most connected to.
