Our studio is open to everyone: professionals, students, and beginners. The atmosphere is especially sensitive to people who are using art therapeutically though we do not provide personal or group therapy. Participants are primarily self-directed with their art, though the studio is facilitated and managed by a contracted art teacher.

The studio is used by a rotation of registered participants. There are usually about 30 people registered at any given time. Each studio day
sees 7 to 15 people and over the course of a year 50 individuals will use the studio. Participant user fees are on a sliding scale to ensure no one is turned away for financial reasons. The user fees cover approximately 7-10% of the costs.

We invite anyone interested in pursuing a happier state of mind to join us, bring your art or just your self, and enjoy a few hours of creating art together.

Open Studio Times: 12pm-4pm on Tuesdays & Thursdays.

Please call to make an appointment for your orientation.
