Performatist is a cultural events aggregation platform built for people who love live performance. We gather listings from hundreds of venues across the New York City metro area — opera houses, jazz clubs, galleries, comedy cellars, pop-up spaces, and everything in between — so you can find what's happening tonight, this weekend, or next month, all in one place.
New York's cultural scene is vast and fragmented. A world-class recital might be happening three blocks from a groundbreaking dance performance, but you'd never know unless you checked a dozen different websites. We believe discovering culture should be effortless. Performatist aggregates, organizes, and enriches event data so that the full breadth of the city's live performance landscape is visible at a glance.
Our system continuously monitors venue calendars and event feeds across the city. Each listing is enriched with genre classifications, artist information, and AI-generated illustrated thumbnails that capture the spirit of each event. A volunteer editorial team reviews and refines the listings -- the result is a curated, searchable directory that's updated daily across hundreds of venues and thousands of events.
We started in New York because it's the densest performing arts market in the world, but our vision is broader. We're building toward coverage in cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, London, and beyond. If you'd like to help bring Performatist to your city, we'd love to hear from you.
Whether you're a venue looking to ensure your events are listed, an artist who wants to claim their profile, or a culture lover with feedback, we welcome your input. Use the Submit button in the header to suggest an event or venue, or reach out by emailing us here.
