Open Studios

No experience needed. No pressure. Just you (and a friend?), tables full of material provocations, and time to play.

Come by anytime during Open Studios. Ease in with a quick, playful drawing warm-up and add a favorite song to our community playlist. Then pick your path: dive into a photography/collage project we’ve set up for you, take a closer look at the student artwork on the walls, or let your own ideas lead the way. Our educators can guide you as much or as little as you want.

About Open Studios

Open Studios is for all ages, abilities, and backgrounds, whether you paint every day or haven’t picked up a brush since third grade. Forget about getting it “right.” You might leave with a masterpiece or you might not, but you’ll definitely leave inspired.

About cARTie @ Lotta Studio

Once a month, cARTie takes over the first-floor gallery at Lotta Studio and installs an exhibition of student art for community engagement. While the exhibition is up, cARTie develops programming for families, children, youth, adolescents, educators, donors, sponsors, artists, and more. If you have an idea for a program you'd like cARTie to organize, reach out.
