Mission Statement: The Studio: An Alternative Space for Contemporary Art was founded in 1998 (as a commercial gallery) by artist, Tedd Stratis, in order to cultivate an appreciation for contemporary art among the diverse populations of Westchester County and the greater New York metropolitan area. To accomplish this goal, The Studio provides emerging, mid-career and underrecognized established artists multiple venues for the exhibition of art, bringing their work to the attention of the public in various situations. Year-round exhibitions are programmed for the gallery in Armonk, an architecturally designed 450 square-foot space, which is surrounded by a 2/3 acre outdoor sculpture garden. Additionally, The Studio curates and administers large-scale public installations of outdoor sculpture for the North Castle Town Hall in Armonk. The Studio’s website, slide files, and flat files are also a means by which the public can gain access to the world of contemporary visual art.The Studio’s agenda includes an educational component. Gallery talks by artists and curators, lectures by art historians, collaborative projects with local schools and with other arts institutions are some of the ways in which the organization has been able to foster an undertanding of contemporary art. |
