Pilat Art

Pilat Art sits on W 26th Street as a visual-arts workspace for makers, learners, and collectors. You’ll find screen-printing stations tucked among fine-art studios, with shared presses available by the hour; they also arrange live model days for figure drawing. Drop-ins can browse recent proofs on the drying racks or attend weekend figure-painting intensives; rental easels are available for long-term tenants.

The studio occupies the fourth floor at 508 W 26th St, New York, NY 10001, in a converted loft building with freight elevators and roll-up doors at both ends. Framed by Chelsea’s gallery row, the block mixes rear-studio spaces with art-supply wholesalers and small curators. Weekday afternoons buzz with deliveries of stretcher bars and pigment drums, but mornings stay quiet enough for focused work.

Call 212-555-0986 to reserve a press slot or sign up for an open-house week. Group private events have their own entry code and are billed separately after a quick walk-through of the studio floor. They also post last-minute studio-space cancellations on their feed the night before, so check if day-of space becomes available.

Grab the map on Google Maps before heading over—the elevator sometimes locks after 7 p.m. if no one buzzes it live.
