Studio Nights - August

$30.00

Art Parties for Everyone: Every Second and Fourth Wednesday at 6:30

All skill levels welcome

Hosted by: Brooke (brookeriley.art)

$30 monthly fee : goes towards the space, materials, sets/models, and snacks/refreshments.

August Meetings:

🌟August 12th: Pastels! I’m SOO excited that this one got voted for again. 🙌🏼 It’ll be a soft evening of creating alongside others playing with a less-common medium. Paper and both chalk and oil pastels will be provided. Feel free to bring any additional materials that you feel called to play with, no need to share. I have purchased a wide array of beginner and professional pastels so we can all experiment and expand our art practice. With every session I’m adding more colors and tools to our supply stash; it just keeps on gettin’ better.

🌟August 26th: It really seems like needle felting has become such a fast favorite! Needle felting is the process of aggravating fibers using a repeated stabbing motion and a specific type of needle so that the fibers stick together and build up color and form over time. This technique allows both sculptural forms and painting-like images on flat surfaces to be crafted. Although it may sound intimidating, it also seems to be extremely beginner friendly! I’ll provide sheets of felt to use as our “canvas” per se, but feel free to bring any 100% cotton or wool sweater/sock/beanie etc that you feel compelled to work onto.

FAQ’S

  • Studio Nights are art events for the community: all skill levels are invited. The art parties last roughly two hours, but feel free to come late or leave early; stay true to your creative process. We will have limited art materials available for use and largely consider this as BYOP (bring your own paper hehe). Come expecting snacks, beverages, and to be immersed in a creative environment complete with a myriad of engaging studio sets, lights, music, materials, anything to play with the senses.

  • To stay flexible to everyone’s creative journey, you will only have to commit to one month at a time. Seats are limited, though, and previous attendees will get notified 24 hours in advance about the new month’s opening.

    As of 2025 there is now an Annual Pass! This saves you a whopping $100 rather than purchasing a monthly ticket. (Art) Party on!

  • Unfortunately, to gauge attendance and materials, only those who are signed up are able to attend the meetings.

  • To treat this like a working studio space, we prefer no outside food. Please try your best to bring beverages in a container with a secure lid to avoid mishaps. We will make sure to have plenty of snack and drink options available for y’all.

  • Please, bring any materials you would like to use to express yourself, no need to share anything that you bring (unless you want to, that is). Sketchbooks, paper, canvas, watercolor sets, pastels; we welcome it all.

    If you don’t have supplies at home, still come enjoy the night out. We will have some introductory supplies available.

  • Espacio is located on the second story of a courtyard shopping center. Unfortunately, we do not have an elevator and can only be accessed by stairs.

    We are accepting to all walks of life here. No hate speech or acts will be tolerated :)

    Although the host, Brooke, only speaks English we have many bilingual attendees and hope that a language barrier never holds any creatives back from joining the party.
