ARCHIV3 Celebrates a Year of Revolutionizing Creative Culture at Posh HQ
On August 30th, ARCHIV3 celebrated its one-year anniversary in the heart of SoHo at POSH Headquarters, marking a defining moment for the publication and community. What began as an experimental platform exploring art, music, culture, and technology has evolved into a full-fledged creative ecosystem—one that continues to unify multidisciplinary artists, producers, curators, and collectors under one roof.
The anniversary was a convergence of visionaries. The event welcomed contemporary painters, digital creators, musicians, art collectors, and more into one shared space. Together, they created an atmosphere charged with collaboration, vulnerability, and genuine connection.
Performances by Luna The Love God, Magic With The 9, and Meechy & ORG electrified the crowd, while our resident DJ, KILLGXXD returned to deliver a transcendent set that seamlessly managed the soundscape of the night. It was a sonic reflection of ARCHIV3’s mission—to give creative freedom a stage.

This night also marked the unveiling of ARCHIV3 Issue 4, curated by Joshua Sauceda, featuring 12 international artists across 60 pages. From Yonder’s sonic rebellion to Alyssa Stevens’ digital nostalgia, the issue explored how underground sound, digital artistry, and social movement converge to shape the creative frontier.

As ARCHIV3 transitions toward a digital-first future, we carry forward the tactile legacy of these printed moments, always honoring the foundation that built us.

The success of this anniversary was amplified through the support of our sponsors and partners. POSH, our venue sponsor, continues to redefine the event and ticketing landscape, offering seamless RSVP systems that empower creators to host experiences that truly reflect their communities.
TBD, our beverage sponsor, kept guests refreshed with its THC-infused green tea—a progressive and rapidly growing alternative to alcohol that embodies the chill, creative, and mindful spirit of the evening. We also extend gratitude to NEWM and Bleucalf for their continued event support and creative partnership.

As ARCHIV3 steps into its second year, we move forward with the same spirit that started it all: curiosity, collaboration, and care. Our pivot to a digital-first model will open new doors for storytelling, accessibility, and global reach—while continuing to highlight the artists, movements, and conversations that matter most.
