"The studio is not just in New York - New York lives in us."

ARTEK (NYC) was founded in 2003, in a time when culture was physical and earned. Before social media, before shortcuts—when print, flyers, albums, and face-to-face connection mattered.We came up through music, nightlife, street culture, and early streetwear—where guerrilla marketing wasn’t a tactic, it was survival. That era shaped our instincts and our standards.From our studio in Hell’s Kitchen, steps from Times Square, we watched New York evolve into a global brand city. We evolved with it—but we never lost what built us. That foundation is permanent. It lives in our work, our process, and our point of view.
