Our Mission
Each year, about 30,000 people walk into our studio and leave their worries at the door.
And that’s exactly what we do. We give you a space where you can free yourself from everyday stressors & worries, and just create something. We strive for an atmosphere that allows safety for vulnerability and expression. We also partner with local businesses and hold classes all over Columbus, as well as in our own studio at 2487 Summit Street in Clintonville/University District. Our classes are variously structured with different projects and paintings, but all classes are great for beginners in the arts. We’re here to help everyone open their mind to the arts even if they’ve never had an interest in it before.
