About us
Open Studio is a collaborative workspace for artists run by Smolny College, St Petersburg, and Bard College in New York.
Our aim is to nurture an ecology of production and critique using the intimacy of the artists’ studio and the scope of international collaboration. Exposed to the generative habits of a large community of peers, students are able to see their own work as part of a global narrative.
The three main arms of the website pass information between the studios, the project page, and the critique page, letting ideas cross-germinate and grow. Each year we mount a number of actual exhibitions, results of work done online across our institutions.
