The Studio Museum in Harlem

The Studio Museum in Harlem is the nexus for artists of African descent locally, nationally and inte

The Studio Museum in Harlem was founded in 1968 by a diverse group of artists, community activists and philanthropists who envisioned a new kind of museum that not only displays artwork but also supports artists and arts education. The Museum was originally located in a rented loft at 2033 Fifth Avenue, just north of 125th Street. In 1979, the New York Bank for Savings gave the Museum the building

located at 144 West 125th Street. The Studio Museum in Harlem is internationally known for its catalytic role in promoting the works of artists of African descent. The Artist-in-Residence program was one of the Museum’s founding initiatives, and gives the Museum the “Studio” in its name. The program has supported more than one hundred emerging artists of African or Latino descent, many of whom who have gone on to establish highly regarded careers.

✨It's time for me to go: Studio Museum Artists in Residence 2021–22✨ is now on view at MoMA PS1!

"It's time for me to go" features new work by the 2021–22 cohort of the Studio Museum's foundational Artist-in-Residence program: Cameron Granger (b. 1993, Cleveland, OH), Jacob Mason-Macklin (b. 1995, Columbus, OH), and Qualeasha Wood (b. 1996, Long Branch, NJ).

With practices spanning video, installation, painting, and textiles, these artists explore the relationships and tensions among physical, digital, and psychic space. The title phrase, It's time for me to go, proposes the gallery as a site of both departure and arrival, and the act of making as an experience of release and embrace. Drawing from memories, databases, archives, and records as source material, their collective works on view blur distinctions between private and public, and fact and fiction.

Last Saturday, October 1, 2022, our presentation ✨Thomas J Price: Witness✨ closed in Harlem's Marcus Garvey Park.

Today, we look back on a year of education, art, and connection in celebration of Price's monumental offering to our community. Presented as part of the Studio Museum series of collaborative initiatives , which are being undertaken while the Museum is preparing for the opening of its new building designed by Adjaye Associates with Cooper Robertson, "Witness" offered us all an exploration of blackness and Black masculinity at a monumental scale. For a year, the nine-foot sculpture and public art installation stood in place, where children, adults, and even critters encountered the symbolic figure. Thank you to all who visited and spent time with "Thomas J Price: Witness."

"Thomas J Price: Witness" is organized by Legacy Russell, former Associate Curator, Exhibitions (now Executive Director and Chief Curator, The Kitchen) with Yelena Keller, Curatorial Assistant, Exhibitions, and is an inHarlem project presented by The Studio Museum in Harlem in partnership with Marcus Garvey Park Alliance and NYC Parks. "Thomas J Price: Witness" is made possible thanks to the Open Society Foundations. Support for inHarlem provided by Citi and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation.

This month marks the last few weeks to see our inHarlem installation in Marcus Garvey Park, "Thomas J Price: Witness."

Open through October 1, the nine-foot-tall bronze figure, entitled "The Distance Within" is emblematic of the artist's own lived experience in historically Black neighborhoods—specifically his hometown of Brixton (London, UK). Price's monumental sculpture considers what is projected onto Black individuals as they move throughout the world, their cities, and their homes.

Comprising articles, videos, and playlists, the resource page offers a deeper understanding and connection to Price's artistic process. By putting Price's monumental sculpture "The Distance Within" into the larger context of what it means to be surveilled, the materials provide cross-continental reflections on the effects of urbanization on Black underserved communities, as well as how Black bodies are subject to surveillance and spectatorship in the everyday.

On Friday, August 5, join danilo machado, Lisa Anderson, and Imani Jacqueline Brown for Studio Salon's third installment of Conversations in the Commons: Monuments and Public Space!

The trio will reflect on the evolution of monuments and what it means to "monumentalize" in and for Black communities, exploring the role monuments—as representations of white supremacy, slavery, and colonialism—have played in contributing to the degradation of Black people's relationships to their history, culture, and environment. How may monuments be appropriated to create and build these relationships anew? Through artistic intervention, community organizing, and historical scholarship, how do we redefine "the commons"? Is the future of public space anti-monument?

Conversations in the Commons coincides with the Bond Across the Pond Festival, a first-of-its-kind twinning between Harlem and Brixton's (London) respective Business Improvement Districts (BID). The program is free, open to all, and takes place on Zoom. Live CART captioning will be provided by Stenocaptions and ASL interpretation will be provided by Pro Bono ASL.

The Studio Museum in Harlem has been a center for celebrating Black artists around the world since its opening in 1968. The museum was the vision of a collection of artists, philanthropists, activists, and Harlem residents. The Studio Museum is home to artwork mainly from the 19th and 20th centuries and is a great place to see and appreciate the work of Black artists.

The museum is currently building its new home location at 144 West 125th St. The new location will feature an expansion of exhibits and more educational programs for guests to enjoy.

Looking to artworks at The Studio Museum in Harlem for inspiration, students from Thurgood Marshall Academy created their own art newspaper using our digital broadsheets. 🎨🗞

The project was “Inspired by how school and community newspapers help communities celebrate each other and share knowledge,” says designer Sebastien Pierre. The students “loved seeing their work published in such a large scale format,” he says. “They were excited to bring home the newspaper to show their parents!”

This heatwave has given a new meaning to 'hot off the press' 🥵 Good thing we've got some 🧊 very cool 🧊 projects from The Glasgow School of Art, The Studio Museum in Harlem, Justyna Green and more in our July roundup: https://www.newspaperclub.com/blog/posts/23733-10-newspapers-hot-off-the-press-in-july

Congratulations to our Administrative Assistant Emily Tyburski and her co-author Xiao Ma for getting their essay on decolonizing museums published in The Studio Museum in Harlem magazine!

As the final requirement of completing the certification, participants proposed ideas for their research papers. Following her presentation, Emily’s topic was accepted. In addition to several hours of topic discussion with her co-author, Emily invested approximately 25-30 hours researching peer reviewed articles, writing notes, and getting peer reviewed feedback from the Studio Museum. The writing and editing process, which occurred between April and June, required an additional 35-40 hours.

“It was A LOT of late nights after work, but very worth it and rewarding! It was a nerve-wracking experience for sure, and I’m very proud I got through it! Now I’ve been certified by the Studio Museum for completing the program, as well as being a paper that made it to publication. I could not have completed the research without the support from my peers at the Springfield Museums”—Emily Tyburski

Thelma Golden knows her role as Director and Chief Curator of the The Studio Museum in Harlem is about so much more than picking compelling pieces of art to display.

It’s becoming a champion for Black artists, cultivating dedicated spaces to showcase their ingenuity and creativity, and the works of art that stem from it.

Golden dives into this mindful process in the latest episode of Getting Even with Anita Hill: https://apple.co/3wt6Y67

How would you feel if your pictures ended up in a museum? That’s the case for people who walked into James Van Der Zee’s photo studio.

Van Der Zee opened the successful Guarantee Photo Studio in the New York neighborhood of Harlem in 1917 with his second wife, Gaynella. Middle-class Americans would visit his shop to receive sophisticated, cosmopolitan, and empathetic portraits. Van Der Zee’s artistry is evident in his carefully considered compositions: from the backdrops, props, and skillful lighting to smaller details like hand-painting on gold and silver jewelry or musical notes added during printing.

Van Der Zee’s studio became a popular Harlem institution and he made thousands of studio portraits of Black families, in addition to photographing large public events, intimate family occasions like weddings and funerals, and the storefronts and daily life in Harlem.

Van Der Zee was a pioneer in capturing depictions of Black life and produced one of the most comprehensive documentations of the Harlem Renaissance.

Today we have him to thank for a unique and rare glimpse of life from the period. Recently, 12 of these special James Van Der Zee portraits joined Getty’s collections, and the The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York along with the The Studio Museum in Harlem acquired James Van Der Zee’s archive, ensuring that his trailblazing work is preserved for future generations.
