Through our Studios Program, we offer artists discounted studio space and valuable professional development opportunities in exchange for service to the organization.

- Teaching in our adult education program and supporting education administration
- Providing curatorial and installation support for our Exhibitions & Events program
- Assisting with marketing, promotion, fundraising, design, and other areas of arts administration
- Helping maintain and organize the woodshop
Key highlights of our facility and unique organization include:
- Network of peers, curators, gallerists and more!
- Excellent professional and creative development opportunities
- Individual and shared studio spaces from 100 – 230 square feet
- 24-hour studio access (not live/work)
- 2000 sq. ft. common space and gallery
