Open Studio at Creative Minds Art Studios


*The event has already taken place on this date: Sun, 05/28/2023
Open Studio is a one hour, non-structured time for art-making, creative experimentation & material exploration. Non-structured means that there are no lessons taught. The the students have freedom to use the art supplies to implement their own ideas and create their own masterpieces. Students have access to art materials in our space. Acrylics, watercolors, oil pastels, colored pencils, markers, recyclable materials, glue, construction paper, art paper - we have pretty much any art material you can think of!

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

*Specific instruction and guidance is needed to use clay that is fired in a kiln.  Because of this, clay will onlly be used in the weekly, structured art classes.  We may try to work in some clay days if logistics work out.  

 

 

Ages:  Anyone ages 3-17 may participate in open studio.  Parents/Guardians of kids ages 3 and 4 will need to stay with them through the art making process. Ages 5-17 may be dropped off and checked in.  A studio teacher will be there to supervise, to help them with supplies, and answer any questions they may have. Parents of students ages 5-17 may stay in the lobby area but are not allowed to be in the classroom area due to space. 

 

Hours:  Open Studio is every Thursday (11-5pm), Friday (11-6pm), Saturday (9-5pm) & Sunday (1pm-5pm)

 

There are 4 ways to participate in open studio time:1) Enroll in the semseter art classes (10 are included in the class fees)2) Monthly Open Studio Membership3) Class packs4) Single drop-ins

Reservations:  To ensure that artists have enough room to create, a reservation is required.  This can be made simply by going to our website and selecting an "Open Studio" time and day from the "Sessions" calendar.  If you decide to come without a reservation and there is space, of course you can join!  However, if space has maxed out, you will not be able to participate during that time slot.  You may reserve your time/days one week ahead.  If you make a reservation and need to cancel, please call or email us.
