VENUE SPOTLIGHT

MICHELSON STUDIO

With epic views of the Hudson River, Michelson Studios is an architecturally progressive penthouse centrally located in Manhattan’s West Village. During daylight hours, natural light bathes the 8,000 SF studio from early morning until sunset through the venue’s 50, 8-foot windows showcasing unobstructed river views, from the Statue of Liberty to the Jersey Cliffs.

An industrial theme vibrates throughout the space, from riveted steel bathrooms and massive hinges to vaulted doors and a poured concrete kitchen counter top. The studio layout can flow together or be easily divided into two unique spaces, separated by a pair of 14-foot tall doors. A mezzanine atop a floating metal staircase provides clients with a semi-private furnished lounge and a bird’s eye view of both spaces.

The venue is soundproofed and an ideal location for film and photo shoots, as well as corporate events. Guests enter through a private elevator with direct access from the courtyard.

AMCO SAMPLE SALE | 168 BOWERY

Over Memorial Day weekend, 168 Bowery transformed into a pop-up sample sale hosted by AMCONYC.

They featured emerging brands such as Christopher Palu New York, Meredith Marks, Kate Stoltz, Liam of York, and Rinat Brodach, as a few of their up and comping designers to keep an eye on. 168 Bowery served as the perfect white space for this event with ample room to display the clothing and large windows to keep the store packed.
