I am an artist,

entrepreneur

and CEO of Listings Project,

a free weekly compilation of vetted real estate listings and other opportunities geared towards artists and creatives that is rooted in collective self-care and community building.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been creating community. With over three decades of experience community building, the largest community I have created to date is Listings Project, a community offering free, carefully vetted real estate, job, and services offered listings weekly.

Listings Project is staffed by a small and dedicated team who communicate with each individual lister. Since our founding 20 years ago, we have connected thousands of people with apartments, roommates, art studios, jobs and opportunities: we now have over a million people visiting our site annually from 200 countries and 43 states. Listings Project believes that all people should have equitable access to job and housing opportunities.

As a social practice artist, I create with a community as opposed to an audience. I have also served in a wide variety of educator roles at museums, public art institutions, and schools and universities.

This will be the second place I will rent through the listings project during the pandemic, so when I say you guys are life savers, I really mean it! Thank you for everything that you are and all you do!”

–Jodie, Lister
"Thank you for all that you do to help make positive connections and friendly, non-sketchy housing options available across the world! I've used your site through several moves around NYC, having followed each email since December 2014 (I had to go back and check!). I can't recommend the Listings Project enough times to others."

–Jaimee, Lister
"I not only found dozens of lovely humans that I plan on grabbing socially distanced coffee with, but found the perfect neighbor (hopefully future friend) and helped her to get an affordable apartment in Manhattan. You've helped me make new friends, and am getting closer to my dream of living in a building filled with wonderful humans – it's just what I needed after COVID isolation <3"

–Kristina, Lister
"... I’d also like to say, as a Black man, while never being conscious of it when looking at the listings, I was so pleased (and viscerally moved) by your removal of “safe” when vetting the listings. That word always makes me wince, whether in conversation or on paper, because it’s a euphemism. I can’t thank you enough for that. It made my day. All the best and keep doing what you’re doing! You’re a valuable resource."

–Timothy, Lister
