About Us
At Urban Arts House, Christian Yecker and Deborah Wissel are crafting a space for creatives to thrive. Located at a historic Urban building on West Orange Street, the space is available for musicians, artists, writers, and makers to lease and host events.
Named as a nod to famed architect C. Emlen Urban who originally designed it as a private residence for Herman F. Wohlsen, the historic gem will primarily be a space for artists of all kinds to rent studio space on the second and third floors—giving them a home for inspiration and collaboration.
Urban Arts House will also feature a beautiful common space and art gallery on the first floor along with a full kitchen and a small performance space and classroom in the back.
“We’re excited to meet and work with like-minded people so this space can see its full potential,” Christian shared.
Join Urban Arts House as we sponsor a black light event! Created by a collective of local artists, transforming an ordinary evening into an immersive, neon-soaked experience. The venue pulses with vibrant, glowing art installations, each piece illuminated under ultraviolet lights, creating a unique ambiance. A talented DJ spins an eclectic mix of beats, from smooth electronica to upbeat house, setting the rhythm of the night. Custom cocktails offer unique concoctions that mirror the creativity of the space. As guests mingle in the historic C. Emlen Urban building, the fusion of art, music, and light creates a captivating atmosphere where each moment feels like stepping into a living piece of art.
