About the call

New York Is Back celebrated the Knicks' playoff run, their first trip back to the NBA Finals in nearly three decades. Moments. Gallery invited artists, creators and fans from around the world to contribute works inspired by the team, the city and the culture surrounding it.
More than a fan base, the Knicks community is a living part of New York's identity: generational, emotional, resilient and deeply woven into the fabric of the city itself. The result is a collection that feels uniquely New York.
