Marissa Gawel is a writer and photographer based in Los Angeles, California. In 2015, she received a grant from National Geographic to document unique museums and art environments around the United States, and has continued documenting these spaces ever since.

📍

We are currently settling into our new home at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center where the work of documenting, sharing, and honoring artist-built environments, that began with Seymour Rosen and was carried on by Kohler Foundation until it was recently gifted to JMKAC, will continue.

SPACES is housed at the Art Preserve in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, and the archives are available to the public by appointment. We invite you to explore and look forward to continuing to serve as a vital resource for these remarkable sites and their creators.
