We strive to provide opportunities and resources to artists, the community and individuals with a wide spectrum of disabilities by offering workshops, gallery space, exhibitions, work space and equipment to the public.
About:
4 Elements Studio provides a nurturing environment for artists at all levels, encouraging participation in the arts through advocacy, education and outreach, and serving as a vital creative resource for the community. 4 Elements Studio’s arts programming provides an alternative, effective outlet for expression and has been developed for each student wanting to explore new opportunities to create. Our goal is to empower, motivate and inspire each artist.
