Studio 1608
Originally built in the 1940s as a car dealership, Studio 1608 has a rich history as it evolved into the 2-story treasure it is today. While the first floor currently serves as a national auction house and a frame shop, the second floor has preserved its character by restoring original hardwood floors, and leaving exposed beams for 13-foot ceilings. With 7 working artists studios and a common gallery space, the real charm of Studio 1608 is the community of artists that have flowed through its doors, similar to the La Ruche artist colony in Paris. Celebrating contemporary and emerging artists for 30 years, the space is imbued with creativity and warmth, generating a haven for artists of all kinds to discuss, collaborate, create, and share their work in the heart of West Palm Beach’s Arts District.
