Why We're Here NCNG acts as a platform for artist collaboration via a digital storefront. Our merchandise includes a variety of goods made by artists. As a collective our focus is on building space for commerce and community which will promote and uplift marginalized artists through engagement in long term and short term collaborative projects. Including but not limited too: artist edition screen printing, interviews, round table discussions (published on our platform), zines+digital download works, pop up shops and public art installations. As we gain collaborators and make a small piece of our own history, No Chunks No Goop will maintain a public archive right here on our website that includes documentation of past projects, as well as all items sold. We are actively working to establish our blog, a chunk on our website where all the goopiest activity will live.
