Open Studios

We offer KAA members free, open studio time in the classroom. There are both medium-focused and open sessions. Attend one of these sessions to interact with other artists. These are a great opportunity to informally share techniques and to learn from each other.

Show up and join in!


Open Studio Hours

Any medium

Fridays 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

This is an open studio where artists can work on any medium of choice. Artists are encouraged to gather, socialize, and share art experiences and techniques.
