It was an honor to have a sneak peek recently to preview the new Studio Museum in Harlem, and it’s nothing short of amazing. Thanks Natasha Logan and Madison Martin.

For nearly sixty years, the Studio Museum has been a vital platform for artists of African descent, championing emerging voices, shaping contemporary culture, and reframing the narrative of American art. Its influence has extended far beyond its walls, inspiring generations of artists and audiences alike.

Now, its remarkable new home designed by Adjaye Associates and Cooper Robertson, that legacy steps confidently into the future. The seven-story, purpose-built space feels both rooted in Harlem’s history and bold in its vision. It is a place created not just to display art, but to nurture creativity, conversation, and connection.

Walking through the galleries it was exciting to see so many of the artists we know and admire and are represented in the Clark Collection come to life. The new building inspires from the light-filled spaces to the works that honor its founding artists, reflects decades of belief in the power of culture to drive progress.
