“The Cell of a Revolution”

Atelier 17 was a revolutionary institution that shaped the direction of modernism and the graphic arts across its 61-year history between 1927 and 1988 with studio locations in Paris and New York City. Thousands of artists from a diverse international community were drawn to working at Atelier 17.

Our goals are threefold:

  1. To create awareness of Atelier 17’s centennial
  2. To encourage projects that think expansively about Atelier 17’s legacy
  3. To publicize these centennial projects as they unfold around the world during 2027
