What is Our Studio?
Our Studio is a creative community hub for anyone interested in the arts. This space is a supportive environment where both peers and facilitators will help you to develop your talents. We specialize in open arts, music and theatrical opportunities and develop our actions to support your interests.
Our Studio aims to help you grow your practice as a community artist. This means that we like to connect to as many community arts happenings as possible. We also host our own artistic/musical and theatrical events collaborating in the community. Our goal is to offer you a safe place to grow amongst wonderful peers.
Anyone in the community can join. We specialize in facilitated programming. This means lower ratios so that we can support each individuals unique gifts and talents.
