“I never tried Theatre, this was new for us, we want more opportunity.”
“”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!
“My time at Studio.89 has been a very fulfilling experience. Working across different sectors like events, marketing, and even collaborating with SIC has been a valuable learning opportunity that has pushed me to expand my thinking. I am truly appreciative of the opportunities I’ve had here, including meeting the team, making new connections and friendships, and gaining valuable insights from you and others that have contributed to my growth and success.”
“The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members.”
