The Studio Museum: Harlem's Artistic Hub Returns

After a seven-year wait, a cornerstone of Black art and culture has returned home. In this episode, The Sidebar's WILL PATTERSON takes us inside the highly anticipated re-opening of The Studio Museum in Harlem. Originally established in 1968 in a rented loft as the first museum dedicated to African-American art, the institution has grown into a powerhouse featuring hundreds of pieces in its permanent collection and a world-renowned artist-in-residence program. Will sits down with Chief Program Officer NATASHA L. LOGAN to discuss the museum’s rich history, the years-long journey of the reconstruction, and how this new architectural marvel will shape the future of their mission and the neighborhood of Harlem at large. --------- The opinions heard in this episode belong to the individuals who made them and not to NYABJ.
