The 100^th Monkey Studio Artist Scholarship Fund

The 100^th Monkey Studio believes that self-expression is vital in our daily lives. Our goal is to offer services to anyone regardless of age, gender, race, class, and background the opportunity to explore their creative potential through art. Art is a powerful tool that may be utilized in a variety of ways to create positive change in anyone’s life.

With severe cuts in Portland public schools and community mental health services, the studio offers patrons the opportunity to find community on many different levels. More structured groups are offered for those in need of more support in process and technique. Loose studio time is also offered for those who want a place to do their own art that not only provides storage of the artwork in process, but also access to a wide variety of art materials.

The Art Scholarship Fund has been created to support our mission and our community in allowing people that are passionate about art and creativity, but may not have the funds to access the Studio on their own, a way to do so. The founders of the studio decided that it was important for the mission of the business to give back to those who can't afford to do art.

The 100th Monkey Studio also contributes 5% of every gallery sale to support this program.

The fund has also been given gifts by individuals and groups at studio events (The Art Materials Swap, First Fridays & more).
