LUNCH (Located Under NADA’s Central Headquarters) is pleased to host Primary Voices in a Secondary World, an exhibition championing artists as the primary makers of the art world, presented by Artists First Collective.

Founded in 2024 by artists Amani Lewis and Allison Zuckerman, Artists First Collective is dedicated to empowering artists and advocating for positive change in the art world. Their mission is to create a support system where artists are valued, fairly compensated, and supported in navigating industry practices that can sometimes feel opaque or challenging.

Artists First Collective is committed to creating an environment where artists are appreciated for their work and given the tools to succeed on their own terms. By reshaping industry standards, they are working to ensure a future where artists are in control of their creative and financial destiny.
