historic artists' homes and studios

The Historic Artists’ Homes and Studios (HAHS) program consists of more than 61 museums that were the homes and studios of American artists. Each site is dedicated to preserving and interpreting the places where art was made. HAHS, a program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, is a peer-to-peer coalition of sites that brings these museums together to conserve the legacy of creativity in the visual arts in America.

Artists’ workplaces and homes reveal the inner workings of the creative process and insights into artists’ sources of inspiration. In these places, one discovers the specific, demonstrable relationship between the artist, the artwork, and the environment of art-making. With much dedication and hard work, many artists’ homes and studios across the United States have been preserved as museums, offering visitors the opportunity to experience these powerful places and providing scholars with rich primary-source material.

Since its establishment by the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 1999, HAHS has developed into a successful community of practice, working with 55 member sites that serve more than half a million visitors in nearly every part of the United States. This network of sites leverages the knowledge and experience of individual members to benefit the entire coalition in critical areas, including historic preservation, visitor and community programming, and communications.

Learn more about the HAHS program at the HAHS website and stay connected here through our blog SITE SPOTLITE.

Support for HAHS is made possible through grants from the Terra Foundation for American Art, Wyeth Foundation for American Art and the Henry Luce Foundation.
