Visit the Studio

courageous heARTS is led with youth to serve the whole community. Learn more about the ways you can get involved with the community we've ​created to take advantage of our shared space and supplies.

Explore and Experiment

Open Studio is when youth, families, and adults can explore and experiment with the vast array of shared supplies. Why buy a whole studio worth of supplies, when you can use our shared stock at a fraction of the price? Consider us the Uber of art studios - except you're the one in the driver's seat!

Learn​ New Skills

heARTS offers classes, workshops and other events guided by local artists. Just like everything else at heARTS, these offerings are focused on the process of creating so everyone walks away with art as unique as they are. To keep the spirit of community alive and well, most offerings are intergenerational.

Get Exposure

Youth and adult artists alike will find plenty of ways to share their art here at heARTS! Apply to be an artist-in-residence or guide a summer class, show (or sell) your work at one of our pop-up shops, or volunteer to help out around the studio. New opportunities are always popping up so stay tuned!

Creativity takes courage.

CREATE

We believe that everyone has a creative spirit and that art is a powerful tool for personal growth and transformation. At heARTS, we focus on the process of art-making rather that the product. 

CONNECT

We believe that community is a precious resource. Our space thrives on the idea that by embracing our interdependence we can all get what we need. There's a place for everyone here.

LEAD

We believe that leadership takes on lots of different forms and that everyone has the capacity within them. At heARTS, youth are the focus of our leadership because we see them as leaders of today, not just tomorrow.

WAYS OF BEING  (AT COURAGEOUS heARTS!)

courageous heARTS is a safe place to be YOU! As part of this community, we encourage you to:

• accept everyone as they are and respect their boundaries
• take creative risks and try new things
• and don't take stuff too seriously!
