OPEN STUDIO is a new gallery founded by Rachel Carle Cohen of Shelter and David Fierman of FIERMAN. The gallery is dedicated to progressive art studios showcasing the work of artists with disabilities, with the aim of  building our artists’ careers and in the process dismantling outmoded hierarchies in the contemporary art world.  With openness as our guiding principle we seek to broaden public awareness of progressive art studios and disseminate incredible, unique, and urgent art to collectors and institutions.

Growing out of the Open Invitational, the fair we launched in Miami this past December, Open Studio will present solo shows from artists culled from our ever expanding network of progressive studios. In addition, we will always have a variety of work on hand in our flat files from studios around the world.  The gallery will open at 127 Henry Street in summer 2025.
