Studio 41, a new art collective in Long Island City, is located at 27-15 41st Avenue, just one block north of Queens Plaza and east of 28th Street. It’s an interesting setting because it’s also a working studio for printmaker Dianne Martin, and artists have access to the studio space, the etching press, and can conduct workshops on various techniques. Studio 41 was founded as a collective to bring people closer to art and artists. You will always find several of the artists from the collective in the gallery when it is open. Look for them at the etching press, at an easel, or leading a workshop.
Studio 41’s seasonal group exhibits provide the community with an opportunity to discover and support talented local artists. Making art accessible to all is a founding principle of the collective. From paintings, prints, and photography to ceramics, sculpture, and jewelry, the work is priced affordably. Studio 41 extends a warm welcome to everyone. Whether you are an artist, art collector, art lover, or simply curious, they hope you will visit. Seeing the work in a home studio provides a rare glimpse of how it might look in a living space.
With their slogan “What’s On Your Walls?,” this young and growing organization is committed to offering many ways to engage, educate, and delight both neighbors and the public. Their stated policy is to set payment plans to acquire the artwork you love. Studio 41 offers art advisory consultations to help you grow your personal collection. The public is invited to monthly workshops and events, such as drawing, printmaking, and holiday ornament making, to combine art creation and viewing in an intimate space.
Studio 41 is located at 27-15 41st in the heart of LIC’s Queensboro plaza.
Free and open to the public every Saturday and Sunday from 1:00 – 5:00 PM.
