An Intimate ART STUDIO
COMMON PROJECT studio is an intimate 300 square feet space with a mix of indoor and outdoor seating.
All classes and workshops are conducted outside beneath a magical ficus tree creating a relaxed space to gather, make and connect.
So, please come prepared for an outdoor environment.
We’ve thoughtfully maximized every inch of the space, and from the moment you walk in we hope you feel the heart, hustle, and creativity — and instantly inspired to make.
