Space 4 Art
Space 4 Art is a community-based arts space, focused on providing affordable housing and studios to artists. Artists of various disciplines, cultures, and backgrounds come together to inspire one another and collaborate, and open their studios to the general public via our free quarterly Open Studios events. Space 4 Art also invests in the community by paying artists to bring the work they create as professionals into classrooms and after-school settings. Our artists provide free, meaningful, mentor-based educational outreach to students in underserved neighborhoods through our innovative “STEAM to the Streets” program. We combine STEM+Arts with project-based learning to help students acquire skills, engage with the arts, and increase civic engagement. At Space 4 Art, we believe art empowers all of us, and that inclusive, culturally sensitive art-making leads to healthy growth in marginalized communities.
