Happy New Year!
Living Studios artists have had another amazing year. First, for those who don't know... we have moved our Salem program into a bigger and better studio at the Willamette Heritage Center 1313 Mill Street SE, Salem, OR, which has ample parking and easy access for van and bus transport. We are programming Wed/Thurs 10-4 pm and will be adding additional hours. If you tell us what days/hours are best for you, we can usually accommodate.
Coming Up: Living Studios is partnering with the Hallie Ford Museum of Art. Join Living Studios at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art in downtown Salem every 2nd Thursday of the month 12-3pm for a free All Abilities Workshop and museum tour.
