Newburgh Arts Scene

Newburgh is really taking its artists studios to the next level. City-wide, work spaces like these are popping up. Little may know, but Safe Harbors of the Hudson also has artist studio space. Currently they are all rented out, but that hasn’t stopped them from improving the space for their tenants. If you remember what the space used to look like, artists shared a 4,000 sq ft common space that was only separated by curtains. Now, with this new configuration, artists will have private proper studios. Here are some photos of the new space.

If you are interested, there is a waiting list that you can add your name to. Just email Julie Lindell, juliealindell@gmail.com

Below, what the space looked like before. Studios separated by curtains.

What the space will look like now. Quite an improvement, don’t you think? And to think, this was all a drug-ridden hotel a few years ago…

One of Newburgh’s best kept secrets is back next Saturday at their new location at Atlas Industries, on 11 Spring Street. Suggested donation is $20.
