Our Mission
The Fifth Act is a New York City–based non-profit dedicated to creating a space where young artists can come together, collaborate, and grow. We believe in collective cohesion across disciplines, fostering a community that thrives on transparent communication, mutual support, and shared imagination. By connecting artists through a network that values voices being heard rather than criticized, we open new ways of perceiving and pursuing careers in the arts. Through collaboration and community, we aim to complete what once felt impossible—building not only innovative works, but also lasting relationships that strengthen the future of the arts.
