Studio Museum in HarlemWHERE BLACK ART LIVES

Founded in 1968, the Studio Museum in Harlem stands as the nexus for artists of African descent. The institution's name, a trifecta of Studio, Museum, and Harlem, symbolizes its spirit. As a Studio it funds emerging artists and offers them studio space, and as a Museum, it curates a compelling collection supporting underrepresented artists. Rooted in Harlem's cultural legacy, the museum is a bastion of Black art. It's a site for stirring conversations amongst its visitors; a hub for dynamic exchanges and sharing ideas about art and society.

Preparing to move and transition to a more formal posture, the Studio Museum sought a website redesign to align with its evolving institution. The aim: achieve greater accessibility for a broader community. The Studio Museum actively redefines the museum experience as a vibrant meeting place reverberating with life, sound, and dynamic energy. BaseNYC and BaseDGTL embraced the challenge of translating this vitality and communal spirit into an engaging online platform.
