About

Pick Up The Flow is a resource platform dedicated to democratizing access to opportunities. Opportunity listings are shared daily via this website, Instagram page and weekly through our newsletter.

Founded in 2017 by Bergsonist, a New York City-based musician, PUTF started as a platform to connect musicians and creatives in NYC. The private Facebook group was limited to friends and friends of friends, fostering a safe and close-knit community. It quickly became a trusted space for sharing gear, knowledge, job opportunities, apartment listings, and more.

Since its inception, PUTF has hosted a variety of events, including workshops (at MoMA PS1), radio broadcasts (Lot Radio), conversations (MoMA PS1), swap meets (H0l0, Bossa Nova Civic Club, Mood Ring), a block market (109 Montrose x PTP) and most recently a talk at Dripping Festival — all in response to the shifting dynamics of the music, art, and cultural industries.

Today, PUTF operates as a multifaceted platform, encompassing an Instagram feed with over 52.1K+ followers, a website, a newsletter, a private Facebook group with 2.1K members, a discord of 400+ members, and an interview series.

With a mission to democratize access to resources, PUTF aims to challenge the pervasive greed within the art and technology industries.
