Your space to explore, dabble, play and create!

Open Studio at The Monastery AZ is a creative space designed to give you the freedom to explore art on their own terms. Whether you bring your own project to develop and gather fresh ideas, or simply come ready to experiment with materials like acrylic paints, pastels, graphite, or collage, the studio is yours to use in the way that best supports your creative journey. There are no lessons and no pressure to create in a specific style—your process is guided entirely by your own intuition. Artists are on-site not to instruct, but to answer questions, offer feedback, and provide the encouragement you need to feel supported in your exploration.

Open Studio offers:

• Access to diverse art materials such as paints, watercolors, pastels, graphite, mixed papers, brushes, and more.

• Thoughtful prompts that encourage mindfulness, reflection, and creative thinking.

• Creative environment surrounded by works of art, diverse in themes and mediums, helping you garner ideas and inspiration. 

• On-site artist support to help guide the process so your creativity unfolds organically.

Whether you’re an experienced artist, a complete beginner, or simply looking for time to recharge, Open Studio provides the freedom to play, reflect, and explore at your own pace.
