OPEN STUDIO
Create anything imaginable from tons of art supplies... paint, clay, collage, mosaic, wood, wire, and more. This is an unfacilitated session, your time to work independently while enjoying the company of a diverse group of artists. You'll be inspired by the whimsical space, novel exhibits, creative resources and music provided by a variety of musicians. Who comes to Open Studio sessions? Artists who enjoy an exciting array of unique materials, individuals who have no formal art skills, but seek a fresh method of self-expression, or those who are looking for a creative community. All delight in their discovery. It's a magical place.
Saturdays 1 p.m. - 5 p.m. All ages (children must be supervised by a parent/caregiver). No cost - donations are appreciated.

"Individuals in diverse populations are often stigmatized, labeled and isolated. During Open Studio sessions, they are stimulated to build community through therapeutic art making, growing personally and professionally. For many of these individuals, exhibiting artwork is a significant achievement, boosting their self-confidence and providing a meaningful way for them to contribute to and develop connections within their communities." -Renee Bures, Founder and Executive Director
