Showrunner, an app providing comprehensive guides to art in New York and Los Angeles, has announced partnerships with Elephant Magazine and Future Fair. Founded by a team of entrepreneurs with backgrounds in data science, software engineering, and art advising, Showrunner allows users to search exhibitions by neighborhood, subject, and style, save shows to lists, share with friends, and mark what they've seen. The app launched for iPhone and Android in May 2025. As part of the partnership, Elephant will contribute a monthly column called "The Six Best," written by Rose Florence Anderson, highlighting notable exhibitions in NYC without insider jargon.
