About Us

Our Mission

Our mission is to platform artists who are actively creating, but are not primarily working as full time artists.

Using printed media, we put our artists’ work in the hands of every day people, giving them greater opportunities to be recognized.

In the current climate, young and emerging artists are often asked to pay to show their work (usually for only one night events!). We provide artists with the opportunity to showcase their work without any monetary requirements, allowing artists of any and all backgrounds to share their work.

Welcome To Books On Sight!

We are an independent press and art collective based in New York City.

About Our Artists

Our artists are working throughout painting, photography, illustration, poetry, music, sculpture and more!

Most of our artists are based in New York City, but we have artists all over the world, including France, London, and Canada.

About Our Books

Our books are made to showcase our artists, with a focus of introducing their work.

We work in collaboration with our artists to edit and produce a book on their art work. This includes presenting their work as a whole, and sharing a project they may be working on.

Our books are not strictly reserved for introductions and projects – we hope to bring our artists together to work on more dense, collaborative publications in the future.
