Mindful Tips for Visiting Studios
We’re happy that you’ll be joining us to explore the creative spaces where art comes to life. To help ensure a positive experience for everyone, please keep the following in mind:
Respect the Workspace
Studios are working environments with delicate or in-progress pieces. Please do not touch artworks, materials, or tools unless invited to.
Ask before Photographing
Not all artists are comfortable with their work or space being photographed. Always ask for permission before taking photos.
Watch over Young Visitors
Studios may contain sharp tools, chemicals, or fragile work. Keep children close and help them stay within safe areas.
Support Artists However You can
Purchasing work is wonderful, but so is following the artist online, leaving a kind comment, or simply sharing your appreciation.
Check before Bringing Pets
We love furry friends, but not all art spaces are suitable for pets. Please check with each studio, and be sure to always keep them on a leash.
Keep Pathways Clear
Be aware of your surroundings and avoid blocking doorways or walkways—especially in smaller studio spaces.
