Pre-paid Studio Time Cards:
The Studio Time Card is a way for members to pre-pay for use of drop-in Open Studio hours at a discounted rate. Our regular fee for drop-in open studio time is a sliding scale of $5-$10 per hour. With the Studio Time Card, individual members can purchase 12 hours for $50. Member families pay $50 for the first family member’s 12 hours and $25 for each additional family member’s 12 hours. Cards are kept at The Art Garden and hours are checked off as you use them. The idea is similar to a ‘bulk discount’, and is based on the hope that engaging in creative experiences at The Art Garden’s communal studio will become an important part of your life.
Memberships and donations made to The Art Garden will be acknowledged as charitable contributions for income tax purposes. Membership donations and other contributions can be made from our Donations page.
