Studio 64’s genesis, in the fall of 2014, arose from the desire of a group of women who wanted to come together to create art in community. We think of ourselves as a collective of artists and makers. Our diverse interests range from painting, to book binding, to mosaic, to fiber arts to paper crafts. We meet weekly as a group in our 1000 square foot rented warehouse studio space in San Rafael, CA to imagine, create, laugh, and make the world a better place.
We continue to focus a large part of our creativity on giving back to the community. Over the years we’ve contributed to a diverse set of local, national, and more recently international needs. Some of the local groups we’ve given funds or artwork to include: Youth In Arts, Sonoma Homeless Pods, Marin Health and Human Services, Welcoming Home, and the ELM Program. We have taught art classes at two local shelters: Carmel Voyager and Mill Street Shelter. On the national scale we have submitted artwork to The Violet Protest and Mosaics for the Orlando Pulse Mosaic project and we have done ongoing work with an organized group writing Postcards to Voters.
In addition to our weekly meetings to create as a group, we are happily back to offering classes, workshops, and special events. Look here to see what’s coming up:
Be sure to sign up for our newsletter, which is how we alert our friends to upcoming events. And keep an eye open for our “save the date” announcement for our holiday sale, which usually happens in early December. It’s the perfect place to buy beautiful handmade gifts for family and friends, and it supports great causes. With proceeds from our 2022 sale, we donated $1,000 each to the Youth In Arts program and Ukraine Aid.
