Art is a filter for pain, beauty, grace, power, love, desire, and action. We are a community that embraces the fire of real art — not just a collection of crosses and halos. Our artists are real, and we will provide avenues for examination, creation, and conversation.

Studio is the creative core of Warehouse 242. As a community of artists who meet together monthly, we serve four purposes:

• we are a crossroads for creatives

providing an intersection point for new and old in our community to find each other and build relationships around art and expression.

• we create together

examining a common assignment each month together, regardless of our medium or focus. we share our work and discuss/examine it at our monthly clatch.

• we support the sunday gathering

creating new work that can be used to further and/or deepen the sunday morning experience. the upcoming teaching schedule is reviewed at each meeting so we can provide relevant opportunities to interact with the morning service.

• we nurture artists and their work

building a home for art in the Gallery at Warehouse, a working gallery in our main arena area.

Studio meets on the Third Tuesday of every month, either at Caribou on East Blvd, or at the Workspace in NoDa. Want more info? E-mail Jonathan Grauel and he’ll plug you in.
