“Onassis USA is thrilled to continue supporting artists and filmmakers who are fostering new ways to tell important stories. New Museum has been a pioneer in developing platforms for new art and new ideas, and we have found a kindred spirit in NEW INC.”

Designed by the NYC-based architectural firm Leong Leong, the ONX Studio, a 4,000-square-feet space, will provide an accelerator for this growing community of mixed reality artists where they will be able to develop, beta test, and demo their works in a presentation gallery for curators, producers, collectors, and agencies. Members will host open houses and salons where the community can share best practices and foster a network and support system.
The ONX Studio will also be in close dialogue with Onassis Lab, the Onassis Foundation cross-disciplinary incubator in Athens that seeks to support innovation and disruption across disciplines. The Onassis Lab will provide a comprehensive set of professional development programs aiming at supporting creators from different sectors and encouraging unexpected encounters of scientists, artists and theorists. The interactions between the two initiatives are expected to lead to the formalization of an exchange program in the near future.“ONX Studio is an evolution of what we have learned and experienced at NEW INC. In New York City, bespoke space for artists who are working in mixed reality is scarce. The Onassis Foundation had the vision to bridge this gap, and their commissioning expertise will be invaluable as we explore new avenues for these hybrid digital and physical experiences.”
