Open Studio is HERE! 

We will post Weekly Schedules on our Facebook Page for the Studio time.

​​​

Our Open Studio is time where you can stop in at any time and be creative.  We have a variety of projects for you to choose from that are suitable for all ages. Its a perfect place for you to bring the kids, or even stop by with a date.  Our project prices range from $5-$20. Choose from canvas painting, painted wine glass or bisque figures, wood signs, drip bears, stuffed animal station, watercolor, beadwork and much more.  We will always have seasonal projects ready to be painted or created so you can create some fun hand made gifts for family and friends.  You do not need any reservation for our open studio. Just stop in for a cup of coffee and creative time during our Open Studio Hours which are always posted and updated on our Facebook page.

 

We will be OPEN to the Public during posted hours for artists of all ages to enjoy.    We ALWAYS post our hours on our Facebook page (www.fb.com/TheArtyPeople)

d your time will start.  You're welcome to stay and play the entire time or for just any hour, it's up to you.  You can also buy our TAPS (The Arty People Studio)  Open Studio Pass online or purchase our multi-visit cards to save money when you buy multiple hours.  Cards are available for purchase in Studio at 109 E 1st Street, Mishawaka or online.

 

The Arty People Open Studio focuses on process-based art, meaning we focus on the making and the doing rather than the finished product and children (and those young at heart!) will come home with artwork they feel really proud of. 

​​​

Will we be teaching a lesson during Open Studio?

Open Studio is less about a lesson and more about exploration. You'll have an instructor on site if you have questions and, with our project of the week, you'll have materials and instruction list provided.   We also have inspiration all around the studio as well as on the tables of each station if needed.   It's an opportunity for you, or your child, to let your imagination run wild and be inspired by the environment around them.  If you prefer a more structured setting, we encourage you to come in and purchase an Art Kit or to join us for one of our classes.  These will be available during Open Studio hours.​

​

Can I use a pass for more than one child?

Sure!  Each hour is counted individually.  For example, if you buy an Open Studio Hourly Pass for 8 hours of open studio and you bring 2 children for 1 hour, you will still have 6 hours remaining on your pass.  Your card will be stamped for however many total hours are used each visit.    You can purchase Open Studio Hours individually or buy an Hourly Pass to save when you buy multiple hours.  Cards are issued in person at our Studio so you'll have a physical card even if you buy the TAPS Open Studio Hourly Pass online.  Please bring your photo ID and email to receive your card..

​

HOW DOES IT WORK?

  • Reserve your time in advance by calling or just drop-in during Open Studio hours at The Arty People Studio located at 109 E 1st Street, Mishawaka.

  • For the best price, call to purchase an Open Studio Hourly Pass to save when you buy multiple hours.  

  • Open Studio experiences are designed for you to stay with your child while they create. You may not leave your child unattended.  We will have other types of classes and activities that are for drop off.  

  • We often offer additional drop-in making times for school closures (holidays, etc), so make sure to follow us on Instagram or Facebook or give us a call to stay up to date.

FAQs​

  • In the spirit of truly "opening" the studio, we will make some changes each week for our guests so they can come to experience our space. While you'll find that some of our projects haven't changed, we'll also add all kinds of new surprises. The Open Studio model allows us more flexibility and playfulness to bring you our absolute best making experiences with something fresh and exciting each time.

  • All artists will be responsible for tidying up their art area before they leave (putting markers away with lids, rinsing out their cups, etc.).  Respect for all materials, teachers, and others is a must.  We are not a "make a mess and we will clean it up" Studio.  We want the students to take pride in their artwork and Studio space.
