Angel Archives is a creative collective and partnership based in New York City. 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. Angel Archives cultivates avant-garde spaces that celebrate atypical visions of creativity, accessible to artists working outside of traditional economic and cultural structures.

The collective was born out of a lack of space in New York City for artists to show work outside of mainstream and blue-chip spheres. We strive to expand artistic dialogue beyond gallery and museum walls: to enrich the city’s cultural landscape by allowing 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 the greater structures of capitalism.
