Everything You Need to Know About this Top Secret NYC Creative Event

ATTENTION ALL NYC CREATIVES. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. We all love a good mystery and this one has had us scratching our heads for far too long. It's time to solve the puzzle. Our goal was to finally find out what all the hype was about with the top secret, "HXS." Challenge accepted.

The word on the street is that HXS is an exclusive event popping up in the summer of 2021. Okay, what does that mean? What is it? Why is it such a big secret? And...how does one snag an invite to this once-in-a-lifetime event? We did some serious sleuthing to find out more. Alas, the team behind the scenes is as secretive as the event itself. That didn’t stop us. Bring in on, blue’s clues.

The name says it all: Hidden by Soul (HXS for short). It’s high profile. It’s secretive. It’s all about feeding the soul. Not to mention, they have an amazing underlying mission of philanthropy. Even with this enticing handful of details, we wanted to get to the bottom of it. The little information they have disclosed with us chalks it up to be a wondrous, unexpected, and extremely exclusive event.

They are hinting at some major stuff. Splashed across their Instagram (@HiddenBySoul) is an array of talented NYC artists. They’ve tacked on a list of thought-provoking values that challenge the norm. They even provided a set of event rules that are carefully crafted to ensure the night is a transformative experience. Listen to this:

“VALUE 1: CONEXT OF SPEECH. At HXS, we believe in considering the essence of speech and the motives of the speaker before subjecting to cancel culture.” Boom. That’s pretty powerful and definitely something we can get behind as artists. The best part? They actually pay their artists exactly what they deserve, which, if you’re a struggling creative, you know that’s the creme de la creme.

So, what is happening behind the scenes? We tried asking the artists to fill us in on the mystery and all of them pretty much said the same thing: You’ll have to wait and see. Finally, we caught up with the man behind the curtain to get the inside scoop about what’s to come. It was no surprise that he’s just as mysterious too, but he shared with us some key details about why this top secret show will be, "the highlight of the summer in the NYC’s Artist community. "

“It’s the show of all shows.”

It looks like we won't be able to get any top secret information on what's brewing behind the curtain. But at least, we get it now. The hype is this: Nobody knows anything about it unless you’re invited, but the actual values of the community are refreshing, culturally relevant, and exactly what we need in this world today. The entire show is a mystery centered around a single concept:

You will walk in knowing nothing and leave having gained everything in the eyes of fairness.

Whoa. Totally. Whoa. To all the artists wondering how they can get their hands on their very own golden ticket, the rules are simple. Follow the Instagram: @HiddenbySoul. It puts you in the pool to be featured and selected as an attendee for the event.

We’ll be keeping tabs on any more information we can get our hands on so stay tuned! We're not giving up so easily when it comes to getting ALL of the inside scoop. If you're one of the lucky ones with a ticket, we'll be patiently waiting to hear all about what happens inside the walls of HXS.

Case unsolved. To be continued...
