"My favorite part of heARTS is the overall energy and atmosphere! I always get excited when I walk into the space and kind of long for it when I’m not there - especially when I have been away for a long period of time." |
Visit the Studio
We invite artists of all-ages and abilities to join us as we make art, together. Your visit to the studio, supports our youth leadership and entrepreneurship opportunities including our Youth Advisory Board, Creative Community Apprenticeship and the RestART Room at Roosevelt High School.

Explore & Experiment
Open Studio is unstructured creative time offering young people, adults, and families the opportunity to explore and experiment with our vast array of supplies. Our shared stock is available to you at a tiny fraction of the cost of purchasing your own supplies - largely thanks to donations that have been diverted from the landfill!

Learn New Skills
Our Creative Labs are guided by practicing Twin Cities artists. Just like everything else at heARTS, these offerings focus on the process of creating rather than the product created. Everyone walks away with new skills and artwork that captures their unique creative voice.
|
Gain Exposure
Artists of all-ages will find plenty of ways to share their art at heARTS! Young people contribute original art to our annual coloring book "Color Me Courageous" and participate in our Show or Sell Pop-Up Sales. Adults can join our artist roster to learn about teaching opportunities and more.

Get Involved
Collaboration is key to our mission and we work with both individuals and organizations to bring creativity into our community. In addition to engaging youth, artists, and volunteers in the the co-creation of our studio, we also partner with organizations to connect our work with their audience - both young and old alike.
