About Us

The Studio Visit (TSV) is a web journal that is vetted and curated by our team and contributors. We have a dedicated focus on contemporary visual artists with the mission to advocate, collaborate, connect, and educate by supporting the importance of the artist’s place in society through their studio practice and process. TSV’s philosophy supports the idea that promoting the artist from the studio perspective leads to greater understanding and appreciation of the artistic process, the role of the artist, and in turn, the art object. We aim to connect the artist with the general public through our online features using video as a major tool to inspire a larger audience to become curious and excited about why art matters in our world.

Our Timeline

2008

Started in 2008 as blog, TSV quickly evolved into a collaborative effort made up of volunteer artists and writers. TSV introduces professional artists at work in their studios, speaking directly to their work through a dialogue with the writer. This intimate first-person view into the artistic process cultivates familiarity and appreciation of the intellectual and technical processes of art making.

2010

TSV started an Art Critique Series bridging the online community with the physical, further emphasizing our mission of promoting the artist from the ground up — ‑in the studio — through dialogue and discourse with other artists. Please click on the Press link to read an article about this series.

2012-15

TSV is based in Berlin, Germany where a partnership with the Takt International Artist residency is established.

2017

TSV launched a Berlin Art Fellowship Award. The award supports D.C. area artists from historically disadvantaged backgrounds to become a resident at the Takt Artist Residency for one month over the summer.

2020

TSV relaunches as an independent project with the mission of featuring and archiving written and video interviews with a focus on contemporary artists of color.
