15 Years and a New Studio Location

Today Reuben Hernandez Studios celebrates 15 years of making stuff, creativity, and resilience. We have also moved into a new studio location at 67 West Street in Greenpoint, Brooklyn and are now located in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

We were actually in the same Brooklyn building before the pandemic so it feels like a full circle, homecoming moment. Five years ago, there was a lot of uncertainty and we were unsure if we could continue this work. And here we are. Thanks to everyone that that has supported and believed in us on this wild journey. We look forward to seeing you at our new studio.

A New Chapter for Reuben Hernandez Studios

I'm so excited and honored to be a resident of Westbeth Artists Housing! It feels like I've come full circle because I lived in the West Village when I first moved to NYC 11 years ago, and my last studio in Brooklyn was also coincidentally on West Street.

Westbeth has a rich history as the former Bell Labs building, and residents have included Diane Arbus, Vin Diesel, Robert De Niro Sr., and Bob Gruen (John Lennon's photographer). Keith Haring had his first solo show at Westbeth in 1981.

Westbeth is also home to the Martha Graham Dance Company, the oldest continually performing dance company in the world and The New School for Drama.

Last week, the day before moving in, Reuben Hernandez Studios celebrated its 12th year.

In other news I finally got a farm table! Time to make something...
