Open Studio is a recurring event that takes place on the first Monday and third Sunday of each month, from noon to 4 pm. During this time, artist members can work on small projects and enjoy the opportunity to mingle with fellow creatives. It provides a relaxed, collaborative atmosphere where artists can focus on their work while also connecting with others in the community.
