Open studio is a time and place to create at your own pace.
Artists can access work space during ArtWorks Center business hours:
Tuesday- Friday 10a.m. to 5p.m.
Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
How it works:
Grab your favorite art supplies (paint, paper, canvas, etc. are all cool. Clay you'll grab from us; we like to keep our kiln healthy and to do that we need to control what goes in it.)
Drive, ride your bike, walk, or run to 300 N. Main St. (We have parking in the back as well as street parking.)
Open studio takes place downstairs in the Clay Cavern or the Second Floor Gallery, but you'll want to stop by our front desk to pay the $5 entry fee before heading down (unless you're an Austin Area Arts member, in which case open studio is free.*) Occasionally, one of the spaces will be closed for a private event. The folks at the desk can advise you on that.
If you want to throw on one of our wheels, you'll have to catch an orientation session. Contact us at 507-434-0934 to schedule.
Pick your favorite spot, set up, and get your art on!
If you'll be working on something other than clay, please bring your own materials with you.
