Ma's House & BIPOC Art Studio 159 Old Point Road, Southampton, NY 11968

Welcome to Ma's House & BIPOC Art Studio

Nestled on the Shinnecock Indian Reservation in Southampton, New York, Ma's House & BIPOC Art Studio serves as a vibrant art space dedicated to uplifting the voices and talents of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). Led by Indigenous artist Jeremy Dennis, this unique gallery offers a residency program, shared studio space, and a communal library, all housed in a family home originally built in the 1960s.

Our Mission

Ma’s House is committed to building a more inclusive artistic community by fostering connections within the Shinnecock Indian Nation and extending its embrace to BIPOC artists and art enthusiasts in the Hamptons and beyond. As a not-for-profit, 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization chartered in 2021, we aim to provide a nurturing environment where creativity and cultural heritage can thrive.
