New York, NY | Curator-Led Tour of the Studio Museum in Harlem with Natasha L. Logan

The Studio Museum in Harlem is the nexus for artists of African descent locally, nationally, and internationally and for work that has been inspired and influenced by Black culture. It is a site for the dynamic exchange of ideas about art and society.

The Studio Museum’s new building is the first in its history created expressly for the needs of the institution and its communities. Located on West 125th Street, it occupies the site on which the Studio Museum had been operating since 1982.

Natasha Logan is the Chief Program Officer at the Studio Museum in Harlem providing strategic direction for the comprehensive realization of Museum programs such as exhibitions, learning and engagement, and the permanent collection. Logan is a cultural producer and arts worker. Most recently, she was the Deputy Director at Creative Time, where she played a critical role in producing major commissions and securing new partnerships. Logan has produced more than a dozen large- scale public commissions, including Charles Gaines’s Moving Chains, Rashid Johnson’s Red Stage, Kamala Sankaram’s The Last Stand, Duke Riley’s Fly by Night, and Jenny Holzer’s’ VIGIL, and realized projects by many others, including Pedro Reyes, Allison Janae Hamilton, Jill Magid, Sophie Calle, and Phil Collins. Working in tandem with curators, she also developed a constellation of initiatives focused on transforming the art and culture fields, including the Creative Time Think Tank, R&D Fellowship, and CTHQ, a gathering space for art and politics.

Prior to joining Creative Time, Logan managed projects for respected artists across film, art, and interactive technology, facilitating their emergent ideas and practices. Notably, she led Hank Willis Thomas’s studio for five years, developing collaborative initiatives including Question Bridge: Black Males and In Search of The Truth (The Truth Booth). 

Logan obtained a degree in English and African American studies from the University of Virginia before starting her career at NYU. She eventually assumed the role of Assistant Director of Career Development at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, where she supported hundreds of emerging artists and solidified a deep commitment to cultivating and elevating artists’ voices.
