15 FLOORS | 4 ART SCHOOLS | 1 TRIBE
Sloane Media is a decade-long passion project loitering at the intersection of brand building and nostalgic tribute. It pays homage to the notorious YMCA residence 'Sloane House' located in mid-town Manhattan in the 1980s.
Sloane provided housing to more than 700 art students each year, representing four different NYC art schools. Sloane alumni remain active online, curating content, hosting reunions, and sharing photos of cockroaches.

Typical New Yorker: sweaty and pissed-off.
“When the elevator door opens on nine and everyone gasps at the crusty carpets, I try to relax.
I’m thrilled we even have carpet in such a crusty old building. I just wish it didn’t smell like wet dogs.”
