Welcome to a place where creativity is contagious and art materials are provided,
some free of charge.

The 100th Monkey Studio is a socially conscious small business owned and operated by two women.

The 100th Monkey Studio will provide anyone, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity or sexual orientation, a safe and affordable place to use art materials. We will support each artist in their unique journey of using art as a means of individual self expression. The 100th Monkey Studio will provide the community with art resources while also being a creative place to visit and view art.

An open studio is a studio or work room that is open to all, where artistic or creative work can be viewed and created collaboratively. Artists and non-artists come together in the open studio to celebrate the social act of collaborating. An Open Studio is intended to foster creativity and encourage experimentation in a welcoming atmosphere of cultural exchange, conversation, encouragement, and freedom of expression.

Open studios can be traced back to 17th century Paris where artists and other creative intellectuals gathered.  Other art forms such as beat poetry can be traced back to originating in open studio settings. Post-WWII New York saw many open studios. One famous example, The Factory, was created by Andy Warhol.

Here at the 100th Monkey Studio, we use our eight-roomed open studio in many ways. Some of them include:

• Offering classes and providing drop-in art making space to the community as well as art materials, many free of charge! 
• Special events and activities such as art openings, birthday parties, and much more.
• As a benefit to our members, not only providing space to work on their own art, but also having storage available for their works-in-progress. 
• Confidential office space where families, couples or individuals engage with a Master's Level Art Therapist.  Our studio also provides clinical art therapy groups to individuals looking for support and personal growth
