You're welcome to stay the entire time or for just any hour, it's up to you. During Open Studio there will not be any instruction it is more about the exploration and process of art. Each artist is in charge of their own area, tools, and the cleanliness of the space. We believe that respect for all materials, tools, space and others is a must. We design our Open Studio for you to stay with your child. No child should be left unattended. Adults are FREE with a child if they do not plan to participate in Art.

The studio will have plenty of areas to do art with a rotating amount of different materials and tools for each Artist to get creative. Such as; Paint, Crayons, Markers, Watercolors, Glue, Glitter, Popsicle Sticks, Felt, Construction Paper and MORE! We will also have supplies to try a Featured Art Technique so everyone can try something new. Our featured art techniques will rotate monthly to help get imaginations flowing. We also have an eating area where artists can bring in snacks or purchase snacks and beverages from Mess Hall Arts while visiting.
