The new Studio Museum building is rising on 125th Street in the heart of Harlem. The building will allow us to expand our commitment to artists of African descent throughout their careers, to connect visitors to over 200 years of Black art history, and to serve our communities in ways never before possible.

Join as a Founding Member and be there as we open the new Studio Museum in Harlem. Founding Members will receive exclusive access to the building during the Founding Member Preview, as well as programs throughout the year that provide an insider’s view of the new Studio Museum.
