2. A Brief History
In the late sixties, a diverse group of
artists, philanthropists and civic
leaders drafted a proposal for an
altogether new model of museum, one
“with the ability to respond more
directly and immediately to the
creative climate.”
3. Mission
The Studio Museum in Harlem is the nexus for artists of
African descent locally, nationally and internationally and
for work that has been inspired and influenced by black
culture. It is a site for the dynamic exchange of ideas about
art and society.

5. Expansion
Since the early 1980s, the Studio Museum in Harlem has
operated out of a century-old commercial building that was
adapted for our use by the late African-American architect J.
Max Bond, Jr.
6. Expansion
Designed by Adjaye Associates in collaboration with Cooper
Robertson, the new Studio Museum will be the first home the
Studio Museum has ever occupied that will be conceived and
built for its program. The building will rise in the heart of
Harlem on West 125th Street, on the site of the current facility.
