Aveda Arts & Sciences Institute Makes Move to DUMBO

Aveda Arts & Sciences Institutes will relocate its New York City campus from SoHo to Brooklyn’s DUMBO neighborhood in the summer of 2025. The school will occupy retail space at Two Trees Management Co.’s office building 20 Jay St.

“We’re honored to welcome Aveda Arts to DUMBO, a move that underscores DUMBO’s desirability as a hub for creativity and innovation,” said Jed Walentas, Principal at Two Trees . “More and more beauty and wellness companies are choosing DUMBO because it’s a place where ideas flourish, and the energy is truly palpable. We look forward to seeing Aveda Arts thrive in this vibrant community.”

Aveda said the new campus will offer students greater access to the arts community in Brooklyn, enhancing their educational experience with increased opportunities for collaboration, networking, and career development. The Soho campus will continue to operate until the official opening of the new DUMBO location.

The deal was brokered in-house by Alyssa Zahler and Jarad Winter of Two Trees. Eli Yadid of KSR represented Aveda Arts.
