ABOUT US
We are a creative collective curating alternative art exhibitions in
New York City
Angel Archives was born out of a lack of space in New York City for artists to show work outside of mainstream and blue-chip spheres. Founded in 2025 by Emma Long and Audrey Roloff, the group hosts multidisciplinary exhibitions and projects outside of the accepted art world, fostering original and creative dialogue away from profit-focused industries. We are recipients of Community Engagement's Spring 2026 Artists & Creatives Grant.
OUR MISSION
Expand artistic dialogue beyond gallery and museum walls
Our mission is to create opportunities that allow early-career and underrepresented artists to show their work to the public and be in conversation with one another.Art must be able to exist under the conditions of honest creativity, challenging dialogue, inclusive community, and caring connection. It is fundamental that artists have the ability to share their visions, ideas, and selves without ties to corporate interests and greater structures of capitalism.
PAST EXHIBITIONS
PSYCHOSPHERE
May 29-30, 2026 · Lorimoto Gallery, Ridgewood
PSYCHOSPHERE explored the psychic communion of all beings: the mythological motifs, collective images, and cerebral webs of communal sentiment.How can we explain collective thought: our mirrored primordial myths, shared
traditions, and parallel ideations that echo across the globe? From dream paintings to filmic explorations of anxious numerology, to sculptural manifestations of submarine communications cables, our artists explore the knotted mass of communality that is collective consciousness.The project was an intentional effort to come together in community to create art, resisting fascist ideology, which asks us to disconnect from ourselves and the mystic web of collective thought.Featured Artists: Nora Nucullaj · Lis Sundberg · Claudia Bonaccorsi · Joseph L.

PSYCHOSPHERE: An Angel Archives Collective Exhibition
Audrey and I moved to New York after college, leaving the red states we grew up in for the hallucinogenic promise of the city. We arrived in a place now hostile to the working artist: a landscape increasingly molded by the invisible hand of private equity, where a cup of coffee easily reaches $10, and going out is often just too expensive. We found that there were few spaces here for artists without costly MFAs, connected parents, or family money. The city felt entirely unforgiving to artists without that conversely humbling prefix of nepo. Like the majority of young working artists in the city, we both struggled to find platforms for our creative practices...
