Open Studio

Looking for the perfect space to create?

We can help!

Friday mornings we invite you to join us and create!  Open Studio is a two hour, non-structured time for art-making, creative experimentation, and material exploration.  Non-structured means that there are no lessons taught. Participants have freedom to use the available art supplies to implement their own ideas and create their own masterpieces.  This special space is facilitated by an artist who can help provide guidance on using the materials, prompts, or a starting point for your creative project.
