What is Open Studio?
Open Studio is an open-ended art exploration experience designed to inspire creativity in a relaxed and supportive environment.
It’s super simple—you show up, and you'll find everything you need to dive into some creative magic. From paints and markers to pastels, and more, you'll find the shelves are packed with supplies just waiting for your ideas. Whether you’re here to experiment, unwind, or bond with your kids, Open Studio is the place to be.
