NeueHouse, a high-end coworking space known for hosting art events, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy to liquidate its assets and closed all its locations on September 5. The company cited legacy liabilities as the reason for its demise, though specific debts remain unclear. NeueHouse had locations in New York, Hollywood, and Venice Beach, and was a hub for the art, fashion, media, and entertainment industries, cohosting events with ARTnews sister publication Art in America and Artnet.
The closure matters because NeueHouse served as a unique intersection between the art world and creative industries, providing a venue for panels, exhibitions, and networking that brought contemporary art into a commercial workspace. Its bankruptcy removes a notable platform for art-world events and signals the fragility of hybrid art-and-business ventures, especially those burdened by debt. The loss of its three locations—including architecturally significant spaces like the former CBS Radio Building—diminishes a physical hub for art-world community building in major cities.
