Welcome to
1221 Art Space
We are an art studio for people in recovery that guides and encourages artists on their unique creative journeys
Our Studio
Here at Art Space we play a vital role in the community as an art studio focused on supporting individuals in recovery. Our focus is on creating an environment that fosters artistic expression and personal development.
With the help of our passionate and empathetic staff, we hope to care for our community the way they care for us.
Our Services
Art Gallery
and Storefront
Here at Art Space we have an artist’s storefront for art lovers and creators alike. Our artists continually create handcrafted art pieces throughout the year that are a breath of fresh air from traditional stores, offering unique items that tell stories of passion, skill, and imagination. Our main gallery space also displays larger artworks for sale, featuring a diverse selection from our artists, reflecting ongoing themes and exhibitions. Members have the opportunity to gain retail experience by selling through our storefront and gallery to learn skills such as pricing and display techniques. Everyone is welcome to stop by and check out our artists' incredible creations!
Workshops
Throughout the year, Art Space offers different workshop opportunities for our members. The workshops offer a multitude of benefits that extend beyond the act of creating. These community experiences provide members with opportunities for personal growth, social interaction, and artistic skill development. They also provide access to materials and tools that artists might not have at home. Being in a creative environment surrounded by other artists can be incredibly inspiring, and grows our community in a positive way! Additionally, members have the opportunity to propose and lead workshops in artistic areas they are passionate about. This includes a craft or technique, an art wellness activity, or an art related lecture. Stay tuned for our workshop schedule!
Art Supply Room
Our Art Supply Room is open to everyone at Art Space. It’s a place where creativity flourishes and the only limit is your imagination. Members can experiment with new techniques and materials, and since many of the supplies are recycled or donated, the art-making is eco-friendly! Artists can choose from an array of sizes and textures of papers and canvas, a surplus of painting supplies, drawing tools such as specialty pens and markers, a collection of crafting supplies, various sculpting materials, and more!
