Senior Youth Connect Participant

“”As a non-profit community hub, Studio.89 fosters artistic expression, sustainability, and provides a shared space where youth and individuals of all backgrounds can excel in their unique selves. Ultimately, the word that comes to mind when I think of Studio.89 is “inspire.” Through my workshops, I hope to inspire individuals of all ages to cultivate a relationship with various art forms and explore their creativity as a means of self-care and self-expression. It’s about building a sense of community that blends mindfulness and artistry over a cup of coffee. I’m grateful to have collaborated with such an amazing organization and look forward to many more workshops at the café!
