Columbia County’s Ockawamick School was built in 1951 with quintessential midcentury details: colorful walls, glass-block windows, and endless natural light. Situated just outside the bustling art scene of Hudson, New York, and vacant since the 1990s, it was only a matter of time before the 78,000-square-foot space became a gallery itself. As of this summer, the building is now “The Campus,” a cooperative art space created, in partnership, by six New York City galleries: Bortolami, James Cohan, Kaufmann Repetto, Anton Kern, Andrew Kreps, and Kurimanzutto. The inaugural exhibition features over 80 artists—among them, Jenny Holzer, Cecily Bird, Yinka Shonibare, and Georg Baselitz. With 40 classrooms and surrounding grounds, the Campus fuses the historical bones of Hudson with its contemporary identity as a year-round haven for art and culture. —Lucy Horowitz
