Rebooted Harlem Museum Celebrates Rise of Black Art
The Studio Museum in Harlem reopens after nearly eight years, with a $307 million renovation expanding its space to support artists of African descent.
- A ribbon-cutting Friday on 125th Street, Harlem marked the Studio Museum in Harlem's reopening after nearly eight years without a permanent home, ahead of a free November 15 community celebration.
- Museum leaders closed the Studio Museum in Harlem to build a purpose-built space, demolishing and reconstructing on the same site to accommodate expanding programming.
- Thelma Golden led a campaign that raised $307 million and created a $52 million endowment, while gallery ceiling heights range from 16 to almost 30 feet, enabling larger commissions.
- For artists and the community, the reopening restores an important cultural institution for Black art, while museum leaders say the new building opens new opportunities to experiment with artists' ideas.
- Amid pandemic and construction delays, the reopening arrives as a source noted broad attacks on cultural institutions linked to the founders' era and culture-war context.
